Since we are coming to the end of the transition year following the change to capital adequacy requirements we thought it appropriate to remind firms that the final rule comes into effect on 30 June 2017.
See our previous news article here /news/capital-adequacy-requirements/ for confirmation of what it will mean for your firm.
Put briefly – if your annual income is less than £400,000 your prudential requirement will be a minimum of £20,000 from 30 June 2017.
