Tom1980 0 Posted October 8, 2018 Received my FCA authorisation by email today. Can’t believe I didn’t get this done sooner but I was always put off by how complicated people said it was and that it would cost around £1,000 for someone to help me with the application. Was contacted out of the blue through Autotrader by a guy claiming to be an expert with FCA applications and could do my application for £350. I was sceptical at first but he offered to come to my site and meet face to face. He completed the application with me which took about an hour and a half and provided me with all the documents that are also needed (compliance, money laundering etc). He said that it would take 2 - 6 weeks for my licence to come through even though the FCA states that they take 6 months. My licence has come through bang on after 2 weeks. Close Brothers are booked in to come and set me up later this week. Can’t wait to get started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom1980 0 Posted October 9, 2018 His name is Timothy Stone. He used to work for a finance company but works for himself now. Can’t recommend him highly enough. Feel free to private message me if you want his details Of course it’s best if you can get it done free. Close Brothers wouldn’t do mine for free though. Just told me to get back in touch once I had my FRN number Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, can only echo what everyone else says. Any finance company will come out and do it for free, a few friends of mine got stung (through their own stupidity really) on this and i’d prefer no one else falls into it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
