Compliancy Services have a number of overseas clients from all around the world.

2010 is a great time for non-UK financial services companies to enter the UK. There are a range of benefits:

• London is still the world’s leading financial centre

• The weakness of sterling (GBP) and makes market entry cost effective

• A UK license gives strong credibility to overseas companies

• Once a financial services trading license is acquired in the UK then it is relatively easy to “passport” into other EU countries avoiding the need to re-apply for licenses in other EU countries

Achieving Your FSA License

Compliancy Services can help overseas companies, including Banks, Investment Companies and Insurers in a variety of ways:

• We can help you gain your trading license from the FSA (the UK financial services regulator, the 'Financial Services Authority'). This is normally considered a complex and specialist task
• Writing your business plan, recruiting management and getting your UK project underway
• We can provide compliance support once you are established to ensure that your company complies with the regulations
• We can provide one of our senior consultants to sit on your UK board as Compliance Director and/or to adopt the required regulatory positions for certain "Controlled Functions" such as being responsible for Money Laundering and Compliance Oversight
• We have a network of partners who can provide additional services such as lawyers and accountants

We would be delighted to help you affect your UK market entry, and can provide a number of support services, such as writing your business plan and incorporating your company.
