Serving Chorley

FCA Compliance Consultants in Chorley

Chorley is not a financial centre, and we do not pretend otherwise. It is a Lancashire market town whose regulated firms are typically small, owner-managed brokers and advisers, which is exactly the type of client we work best with, providing outsourced compliance support scaled to one or two directors rather than a full risk and compliance department.

Supporting regulated firms in Central Lancashire

Chorley grew up as a cotton and textile town and has since settled into the role of a market town within the wider Preston and South Ribble area, with a broadly based local economy of retail, logistics and light manufacturing rather than a dedicated financial services sector. The regulated firms we come across here are consistent with that profile: independent mortgage and insurance brokers, general insurance intermediaries and small consumer credit firms operating from modest premises rather than corporate headquarters. These are exactly the businesses that most need proportionate compliance support, because a two- or three-person brokerage cannot justify a full-time compliance officer but carries the same CONC, ICOBS and Consumer Duty obligations as a much larger firm. Our work with Chorley firms tends to be outsourced compliance retainers and authorisation support rather than large-scale regulatory change projects.

FCA compliance in Chorley: common questions

Do you have an office in Chorley?
No. MEMA is based in London at 60 Tottenham Court Road and has no premises in Chorley or elsewhere in Lancashire. We work with Chorley firms remotely by video call and secure document sharing for the great majority of engagements, with on-site visits arranged for authorisation kick-offs or more complex file reviews when that is genuinely useful.
Is MEMA a good fit for a small broker firm in Chorley?
Yes, this is where we add most value. Many Chorley brokers are one or two-director businesses without a dedicated compliance function. We provide outsourced compliance support, CONC and ICOBS guidance and authorisation help sized to a small firm's budget and risk profile, rather than a service built for a larger regulated group.
