Compliance Consultancy Services

Access to our technical helpline and onsite visits provides you with advice and guidance on interpreting and implementing Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulations in ways that are practical and relevant to your specific circumstances. Our technical experts offer specialized knowledge and can assist with everything from everyday queries to FCA applications and regulatory returns.

Our team also provides a document checking service, reviewing your stationery, insurance product information documents, terms of business, and other key customer documents. You can send these documents to our Culcheth office or email them to our dedicated mailbox. This review service helps reduce the risk of non-compliant material being published due to compliance errors. We will include specific recommendations for any required actions to ensure compliance.

Websites, particularly transactional ones, often draw the attention of regulators and are subject to close scrutiny. Our website review helps identify potential compliance risks for your business, preventing errors that could lead to investigations, regulatory action, or customer compensation. We pinpoint potential problem areas and offer practical solutions, providing a valuable audit trail in case of regulatory scrutiny. Additionally, if you conduct business online, we can independently review transactional websites to ensure compliance with the Insurance Conduct of Business Sourcebook and other relevant regulations.

We offer training through breakfast meetings, workshops, and on-site courses, allowing you to choose the approach that best suits your business. We cater to both small groups and large training programs for businesses launching products and services into the regulated market. Our training covers a wide range of topics, and we can collaborate with our sister company, Searchlight Insurance Training, to deliver a comprehensive training program tailored to our clients' needs.

If you are looking to acquire other firms, we offer a due diligence service that provides an independent assessment of a prospect’s regulatory health. We will deliver a report with a RAG-rated overview of our findings, aiding your decision-making process and demonstrating that an independent review has been conducted.
