Accordingly, the Authority has today cancelled PRSL’s Part 4A permission.

DEFINITIONS

5.
The definitions below are used in this Final Notice:

“the Act” means the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000;

“the Authority” means the Financial Conduct Authority;


“the Decision Notice” means the Decision Notice issued to PRSL dated 18 July

2018;


“PRSL” means Prime Render Solutions Ltd;

“PRSL’s Part 4A permission” means the permission granted by the Authority to
PRSL pursuant to Part 4A of the Act;

“the Return” means the CCR007 return for the period ended 30 September 2017,
which PRSL was due to submit to the Authority by 10 November 2017;

“the suitability Threshold Condition” means the Threshold Condition set out in

“the Tribunal” means the Upper Tribunal (Tax and Chancery Chamber); and

REASONS FOR ACTION

6.
On the basis of the facts and matters and conclusions described in the Warning
Notice and in the Decision Notice, it appears to the Authority that PRSL is failing to
satisfy the suitability Threshold Condition, in that the Authority is not satisfied that
PRSL is a fit and proper person having regard to all the circumstances, including
whether PRSL managed its business in such a way as to ensure that its affairs were
conducted in a sound and prudent manner.

7.
This is because PRSL has failed to comply with the regulatory requirement to submit
the Return. PRSL has not been open and co-operative in all its dealings with the
Authority, in that PRSL has failed to respond adequately to the Authority's repeated
requests for it to submit the Return, and has thereby failed to comply with Principle
11 of the Authority's Principles for Businesses and to satisfy the Authority that it is
ready, willing and organised to comply with the requirements and standards under
the regulatory system.

8.
These failures, which are significant in the context of PRSL’s suitability, lead the
Authority to conclude that PRSL has failed to manage its business in such a way as
to ensure that its affairs are conducted in a sound and prudent manner, that it is
not a fit and proper person, and that it is therefore failing to satisfy the Threshold
Conditions in relation to the regulated activities for which PRSL was granted a Part
4A permission.
