FCA publishes sample business plan

FCA has published guidance on a sample business plan for firms putting together an RBP.  It says that following it should help firms to ensure they are ready, willing and organised to be authorised by FCA.

The guidance sets out the matters that a plan should consider, but FCA reminds firms that their RBS should be tailored to their specific business models and that additional factors, other than those in the sample plan, should be considered depending on the firm and the type of permissions applied for.
