Don’t risk your future - we’ll take responsibility for the business you write

Current press is continually reporting on firms being fined and suspended. Why not let someone else take the risk? We will take full regulatory responsibility for the business you write.

As a Directly Authorised firm:

• YOU are accountable to the FSA
• YOU must deal with all FSA issues, reporting and visits
• YOU are the one the FSA will be watching
• YOU must interpret the rules and pay the price if you get it wrong
• YOU are the one who must complete all FSA reports, including RMAR
• YOU must prove your fit and properness
• YOU must handle all complaints
• YOU must create and document procedures, monitor and enforce them
• YOU must monitor and control and deal with any remedial action
• YOU must allocate a compliance office and report to the FSA
• YOU must implement disaster and business interruption planning and required resources as well as address Capital Adequacy requirements
• YOU must write, monitor and enforce T&C procedures

Let Interdependence do it all for you…

Will it cost me more?

You could actually SAVE money:

• 0% retention fees
• Income generating introducer facilities
• Highest commission rates and procuration fees
• Business generating campaign services
• Ready to use, cost effective marketing toolkit for new and existing clients

Will I retain my independence?

Yes. You retain your clients and have control over the running of your business - we simply give you more time to do it. We are also part of the Tenet Group, the largest independently owned adviser group, so as we are not owned by a large IT company or provider - your independence is not compromised.

Making the move

We’ve helped many advisers move from direct authorisation to AR status. We’ll introduce all our services to you at the induction course and set up a gencies for you with providers. You’ll be given instant access to our member extranet where you will find all the support you need to get started from documents and sales aids through to pre-approved letters to send to your clients announcing your new status. As soon as you join you will receive ongoing support, with visits and meetings from the Training & Competence team.
