13/05/2008 - 1500th member firm to direct FSA authorisation

Process of direct authorisation at S/Biz

SimplyBiz celebrated the 1500^th direct FSA authorisation for one of their member firms earlier this week. The Huddersfield based support company has provided support and guidance for financial services intermediaries throughout the entirety of the FSA authorisation process since the company’s inception in November 2002.

Andrew Bradbury, SimplyBiz Authorisations and Permissions Manager, commented;

“We understand that making the move from a network to direct authorisation can be a difficult transition for advisers – both professionally and emotionally – and therefore we do everything we can to make the process as smooth as possible. Our applications and agency teams contain specialists in all areas of pre FSA authorisation which, coupled with our combined years of experience, mean that the majority of the 1500 cases we have guided through the authorisation process have been approved both quickly and with a minimum of hassle.”

The 1500^th SimplyBiz member to be authorised was Derbyshire based Spear Financial Ltd., who were sent a magnum of champagne by SimplyBiz to get their celebrations underway. Chris Spear, principal of the firm, commented:

“The application process was surprisingly easy, much of it was new to me but the applications team took the mystique out of it all. I am very grateful that the process was so fast! I’m very happy to now be a member of SimplyBiz, my business model demands flexibility and cost-controls, which is why SimplyBiz and my firm are a perfect fit!”

Ian Thorneycroft, Managing Director of SimplyBiz, added:

“At SimplyBiz, we have an ethos of keeping business simple in order to help our members achieve even greater success within their businesses. I see no reason why this shouldn’t begin as soon as they send in their engagement forms. I’m delighted that Chris chose SimplyBiz and that his application process went so smoothly – here’s to the next 1500 being just as successful!”
