Compliance Consultancy FAQs

Why does my investment business need to be compliant with UK regulations?
If your investment business is not compliant with UK regulations, there could be serious consequences for you and your business. Here are some of the potential worst things that could happen:

Legal action: You could face legal action by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or other regulatory bodies. This could result in fines, penalties, and other sanctions. In some cases, the FCA may take legal action to shut down your business.

Reputation damage: Non-compliance can damage your business’s reputation, which can be difficult to recover from. This could result in a loss of clients, partners, and investors.

Financial losses: Non-compliance can lead to financial losses. You may have to pay fines, legal fees, and other costs associated with regulatory action. Additionally, if your business is shut down, you could lose all the money you have invested in it.

Personal liability: If you are the owner or director of the business, you could be personally liable for any non-compliance. This means that your personal assets could be at risk.

Difficulty obtaining funding: Non-compliance can make it difficult to obtain funding from banks, investors, and other sources. This can limit your business’s growth potential and make it more difficult to compete in the market.
