FCA (UK)

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) serves as the regulatory body overseeing investment and financial services in the UK. Operating under the established rules and regulations of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA), the UK’s legal framework also complies with EU laws such as the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID).

Acquiring an FCA license enhances the reputation of firms, adding significant value to their business, as the UK regulator is widely respected internationally.

Requirements:

• Incorporation in the UK.
• Recruitment of at least two (2) Directors who demonstrate sufficient knowledge and experience and successfully pass the “fit and proper” test administered by the FCA.
• Hiring of local resident staff members on a full-time basis to carry out key functions of the Company, commensurate with the complexity and scope of activities undertaken.
