The challenge
Kick start your journey to independence
Getting to start your own business is one of the most thrilling, and daunting things you can do in your career. The inception of any business can feel like quite a substantial hill to climb. Add in the complexity of regulation and getting directly authorised, and the needle can sometimes tip more towards daunting than thrilling.

If you’re in the early stages of your authorisation journey, read more about our Adviser Incubator via our not-for-profit business, The Verve Foundation.
Using The Verve Group has made, what could have been a long drawn out and somewhat daunting task, much easier. The team have been very supportive in all aspects of the process and liaised with the FCA on my behalf very well.
