Insurance distribution in a regulated environment

Whether a distributor is authorised for insurance distribution activities, or it requires the support of an FCA-authorised firm to provide potential policyholders with insurance, Specialty Risks has a range of options that will ensure any organisation can operate in compliance with the FCA’s handbook.

Unregulated distributors

We can provide unregulated distributors with the following insurance distribution options:

  • Become an Appointed Representative / Introducer Appointed Representative.
  • Become a master policyholder.
  • Use an exemption from regulation by having a connected contract arrangement.

These options give distributors the ability to provide insurance cover to their customers without the need to become directly authorised and regulated by the FCA. This saves distributors significant time and costs.

Organisations that are already authorised and regulated by the FCA can also take advantage of Specialty Risks’ experience and technology.

Our binding authority agreements allow for sub-delegation. Sub-sub-delegation is available subject to the agreement of the insurer.
