Appointed Representative (AR)

During this time, you will be able to access all aspects of our service, other than placement, until your FCA authorisation comes through. When it does, you can then take full advantage of your WTW Networks membership.

Leading up to that point, you will have been able to potentially train staff (or yourself) through our Business School, access the business planning support of your dedicated Business Partner and take advantage of all of our marketing support services. This could get you off to a flying start, the minute you have permission to trade as a directly authorised broker.

“ We started out as an Appointed Representative (AR) and after circa 18 months we really wanted to make the leap to become a Direct FCA Authorised Broker. This would enable us to operate independently from our Principal AR Network arrangement. I knew I wanted the support of a Network and carefully considered my options. I contacted WTW Networks to see if they could help and I was delighted with their response.

I was apprehensive as to whether they would take us on as we were still a small operation, and I am grateful that they did. I cannot stress how valuable their enthusiasm and guidance has been along the journey to direct authorisation and beyond. They support and signpost you at every opportunity and have been invaluable to our continued to success.

WTW Networks have aided our insurer relationships, provided great educational and marketing support as well as signposted us to compliance services and other network members, who are a great community of support. Emily Kenna, Sense Risk Solutions
