Expanding your firm’s regulatory scope under the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) can be both an exciting opportunity and a challenging process. At My Compliance Consultant, we provide in-depth advice, guidance, and application support for firms seeking to apply for a Variation of Permissions (VoP) with the FCA. Whether you’re introducing a new regulated activity, expanding into new markets, or refining your existing permissions, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Applying for a Variation of FCA Permissions requires more than just administrative effort, it demands a deep understanding of FCA expectations, the current regulatory landscape, and how your business model aligns with the permissions you’re seeking. Without proper guidance, firms risk delays, rejections, or even reputational impact.
We offer a tailored approach that includes:
- Initial consultation to understand your firm’s goals and regulatory needs
- Strategic review of your existing permissions and advice on regulatory footprint
- Drafting and reviewing the Variation of Permissions application and supporting documents
- Preparation of updated compliance monitoring plans, risk assessments and business plans
- Handling FCA communications and responding to follow-up queries
Our team of experienced FCA compliance consultants works closely with you to ensure your application is complete, compliant, and aligned with FCA guidance. We’ve helped countless firms across the UK from startups to well-established institutions successfully vary their permissions and expand their operations in a compliant manner.
We also offer post-submission support, helping firms adapt their internal processes to reflect their newly granted permissions and stay compliant with ongoing obligations. This ensures a smooth transition and reduces the risk of future compliance breaches.
At My Compliance Consultant, we take the complexity out of FCA applications. Our goal is to help you secure the right permissions quickly and efficiently, without compromising on regulatory integrity.
