GDPR Compliance Consultants
Practical UK GDPR and data protection support that protects your business, your customers and your reputation.
How our GDPR consultants can help you
Compliance that builds trust
In today’s data-driven world, complying with UK GDPR isn’t just about avoiding fines, it’s about showing your clients, customers, and partners that their privacy matters. Strong data protection helps to build confidence with customers, suppliers, regulators and business partners.
Clear policies that set the standard
We create and implement bespoke Data Protection Policies tailored to your operations and regulatory obligations. These documents form the foundation of your compliance framework and demonstrate your commitment to privacy and accountability.
Training that brings compliance to life
Our GDPR training is practical, engaging, and relevant, helping employees at all levels understand lawful processing, individual rights, and their daily responsibilities. Sessions are available online or in person and can be tailored to your team.
Tools for prevention and response
We conduct DPIAs, regular compliance reviews and internal audits to assess high-risk processing and identify areas of improvement before issues arise. We also provide a structured Data Breach Register and Incident Response Process to ensure you’re prepared to act swiftly and lawfully in the event of a breach.
Getting Data Protection wrong risks fines, reputational damage, and lost trust.
We make sure you get it right.
You've got questions.
We've got answers.
Do you have to be authorised by the FCA to offer finance?
In almost all cases, yes. The most common exclusions are if you are offering less than 12 payments over less than 12 months and charge no interest or if you are only selling to limited companies. You can contact us for a no obligation chat about what permission you need and what it would cost.
How long will it take for my licence to be authorised?
The FCA state that for a standard Limited Permission application it can take up to six months once they deem it complete and up to 12 months in total. Our current processing time is an average well within six months but this is influenced by the accuracy of the information you provide to us, how well you engage in the process and how straightforward your case is for the FCA to assess.
Can you guarantee I will get accepted by the FCA?
Before we take on any client, we discuss your eligibility and satisfy ourselves that you qualify for authorisation. It is however the FCA’s decision to approve you or not and so if you omit to notify us any information that could harm your application we cannot be liable for that. We often advise potential clients to not to proceed as our expert experience knows they would be rejected, we’d rather you keep your money and be honest.
When my licence is approved, how long before I can start to facilitate finance?
Immediately, though it may take around 24 Hours to show on the FCA Register.
Once I’m authorised, who do I use to offer finance on my goods?
You are free to use whoever you wish but at The Compliance Guys Ltd we have established, unburdened relationships with Lenders and Brokers who are specialists in the sector you are working in and we will gladly put you in contact with these…not only that, but while you’re waiting for authorisation you get FREE access to our compliance CRM and use of our Test Drive APP!!
Do I have to pay an annual fee or do anything going forward?
Yes, the FCA charge an small annual fee, ask you to report to their Gabriel system and confirm your firms details annually. At The Compliance Guys Ltd we can set up a monthly Direct Debit for us to take full control of these so you never have to worry – or get fined! The Compliance Guys Ltd offer on going monthly compliance packages starting from just £59 + VAT per month.
Can FCA authorisation expire?
Your FCA Authorisation can’t expire, but it can be revoked!! if you fail to pay your ongoing fee’s and file your reports then this will happen… but hey!! That’s why you’ll get us to do it for you.
