Serving Essex

FCA Compliance Consultants in Essex

MEMA supports financial services firms across Essex — including Brentwood, Chelmsford, Romford and the surrounding commuter belt — with FCA authorisation and ongoing compliance. Our ex-FCA regulators work with the county's dense population of intermediary firms.

Supporting regulated firms in Essex and the East of England

Essex has one of the highest concentrations of small financial intermediary firms in the country, driven by its commuter-belt economy: mortgage brokers, insurance brokers, credit brokers and appointed representatives, independent financial advisers and payment firms. These owner-managed businesses face the full weight of FCA rules — CONC, MCOB, ICOBS, Consumer Duty and the appointed representative regime — without in-house compliance teams. We provide outsourced compliance, authorisation and AR oversight support scaled to Essex firms of this size.

How we work with Essex firms

MEMA is a London-based consultancy led by ex-FCA regulators. We serve Essex firms remotely — compliance monitoring, policy drafting, authorisation applications and ongoing advisory are all delivered securely by video and document sharing — with on-site visits arranged whenever they add value. You get direct regulatory experience without the cost of an in-house compliance function or a local retainer premium.
