Serving Southampton

FCA Compliance Consultants in Southampton

MEMA provides FCA authorisation and compliance support to financial services firms across Southampton and the wider Solent region. Our team of ex-FCA regulators works with local firms remotely and on-site to build regulatory frameworks that meet FCA expectations first time.

Supporting regulated firms in the South Coast and Solent region

Southampton's financial services landscape reflects its status as a major port city. We regularly support marine and specialty insurance intermediaries, motor finance and consumer credit firms tied to the region's large dealership networks, payment and e-money businesses, and retail investment advisers along the South Coast. Whether you are a Southampton broker seeking authorisation for the first time or an established firm preparing for an FCA supervisory visit, we tailor the work to your permissions and business model rather than applying a generic template.

How we work with Southampton firms

MEMA is a London-based consultancy led by ex-FCA regulators. We serve Southampton 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.

FCA compliance in Southampton: common questions

Do you have an office in Southampton?
MEMA is based in London at 60 Tottenham Court Road and serves Southampton firms remotely, with on-site visits arranged as needed. Most of our compliance work — monitoring, policy drafting, authorisation applications and ongoing advisory — is delivered efficiently by video, phone and secure document sharing, so you get ex-FCA expertise without local overheads.
Can you help a Southampton firm apply for FCA authorisation?
Yes. We scope your permissions, draft the regulatory business plan, prepare your compliance and financial crime frameworks, and manage the FCA case-handler dialogue through to approval — for firms across Southampton, Portsmouth and the Solent region.
