Appointed Representative Service

In a constantly changing compliance landscape, Boston and Alexander make sure that you and your company remain aware and compliant of all essential UK FCA regulations and requirements while allowing you to focus on growing your business.

Efficient and Flexible

Direct FCA authorisation can be a timely and expensive process, especially for a new start-up or growing business. Boston and Alexander can offer a simpler and more straightforward alternative solution to direct FCA authorisation by using our regulatory licence to conduct your regulated activities. Our team of compliance experts and strong management culture are able to assist you in becoming an Appointed Representative (“A/R”) and guide you through the whole process from start to finish by offering a continuous standalone compliance solution throughout the lifetime of your A/R contract, keeping you up to date with the ever changing landscape of UK regulation and compliance requirements.

Expert Advice and Extensive Knowledge

Our compliance teams established expertise in risk, regulatory finance and compliance will help you ease the administrative burden and provide you with the essential policies and procedures to grow your business. We have partnered with one of the most respected regulatory consultancies “Effecta Compliance” to ensure that everything from gaining your Appointed Representative status, on-boarding and the FCA registrations and AML/KYC surveillance, to observation and periodic monitoring of your business compliance is made in a timely manner while reducing risks and increasing efficiency. We have access to and use a number of recognised service providers and Regtech platforms to help with the on-boarding process, initial and on-going training requirements and compliance monitoring reviews.
