Streamline the application process with Laven

Laven can help with the preparation of all necessary processes and documents to ensure ongoing momentum and efficiency in your application. This application process generally takes 6-9 months from beginning to end.

Alternatively, whilst a firm is seeking its own license it can utilise Laven’s by becoming an Appointed Representative of Laven Advisors under our hosting solution. This enables a firm to entirely outsource all of the compliance functions. This reduces the timescale considerably and typically this relationship can become active within 2-6 weeks.

Our FCA application services

Get to market with ease and confidence.

Laven Advisors LLP (part of Laven Group), offers a UK regulatory hosting platform which provides clients the opportunity to conduct regulated activities as an Appointed Representative (AR), without having to be directly regulated by the FCA, or go through a full authorisation process. It also hosts alternative investment managers (AIFM) and MiFID managers.

This allows clients to focus on their core business activities and retain their independence in terms of identity and ownership, whilst having the full support of Laven Advisors to help them grow and achieve their objectives.
