Our Experience
After nearly 30 years in the industry we have seen many changes to how firms are regulated, how they are run and managed, and how their products have had to evolve to keep up with the changes in consumer use. Coming from a practitioner background we have developed methods of applying regulatory rules and guidelines but in a way that 'enables' not 'stifles' productivity, creativity and overall success.
Our areas of expertise revolve mainly around obtaining and or retaining FCA permissions in Consumer Credit, Lending, Mortgages, Debt Services, Motor Finance, Leasing and Hire.
Most importantly we do all this in Plain English.
