What kind of support is offered when a firm is incubated at the idea stage? 

For firms that need help understanding the FCA regulatory regime and are at an early stage in their journey, Innovation pathways would be suggested. This service includes one to one discussions with a dedicated case manager to provide insight, clarity, and feedback on their business model. It might include signposting, discussions and feedback with FCA subject matter experts, informal steer and pre-authorisation meetings.
