Insurance authorisation
Authorisation for insurers and insurance intermediaries — conduct, prudential and governance, in the UK, under Solvency II in Europe, and in comparable regimes elsewhere.
We authorise insurers, intermediaries and managing general agents, building the conduct and prudential frameworks that insurance regulation requires and the governance that supports them.
What we cover
- Insurer, intermediary and MGA permissions
- Conduct frameworks and fair value / product governance
- Prudential requirements (including Solvency II in Europe)
- Governance, controlled functions and outsourcing
- Wind-down and operational resilience
The application suite
- Regulatory business plan
- Compliance and risk management frameworks
- Financial model and capital / solvency position
- Conduct and product-governance policies
- The authorisation application, start to finish

Why firms use Pitchsd
We have led authorisations, run compliance functions and operated regulated firms — and dealt directly with regulators and the Financial Ombudsman. Our applications are written by people who have had to live with the frameworks they produce.
We also build the technology the business runs on, so the platform and the permission arrive together rather than being someone else's problem. And we can put senior people into the business — a fractional MLRO, non-executive directors, a CFO — through our network.
