FCA opens scale up unit

The FCA has opened its scale-up unit, so that fast-growing and innovative businesses can apply to get more support to help them grow. The service was already available to dual authorised firms (6 are currently in the unit) and is now available for solo-authorised firms too.

Firms can apply between now and 22 June to join the unit. There is an online application form, and firms will need to confirm they meet the eligibility conditions as well as outlining the support they would like.
