Appointed Representatives Services
Enabling business growth as an Appointed Representative with Frank Investments.
Appointed Representatives
We enable companies and individuals to begin conducting regulated businesses quickly and efficiently utilising our FCA licence. Becoming an Appointed Representative enables you to start operating your regulated business very quickly, compared to the often lengthy timeframe of achieving direct FCA authorisation.
The company becomes an Appointed Representative of Frank Investments and retains its own distinct brand, ownership and business strategy but with the added benefit of utilising our FCA licence, support, compliance expertise, and already established systems and procedures.
We take care of the necessary regulatory filings, capital adequacy and maintenance of systems and controls whilst our Appointed Representatives are able to grow and focus on their core business under our regulatory umbrella.
Whether you are looking for a short-term regulatory incubation service whilst waiting for your own FCA licence to be approved, or you are seeking long-term regulatory hosting cover, we are able to provide you with the cover and support you need.
