From company readiness to Firm FFC proof.

Book through Start Here

Use the booking form so RentPP can understand whether you are an agent, new firm, developer or existing company.

Confirm CIPC and bank account

The company must exist and have a business bank account before adding the stand-in principal to the structure.

Appoint the stand-in principal

The principal is formally appointed and added as director with at least 1% shareholding where required for PPRA submission readiness.

Prepare PPRA name approval

The company or firm name is prepared for PPRA approval before final submission steps.

Apply for Agent FFC if needed

If the client will act as a property practitioner and does not have the correct FFC, the individual Agent FFC route must be addressed.

Submit Firm FFC and trust exemption

RentPP supports the Firm FFC route and strongly recommends trust exemption where the firm qualifies and will not hold trust monies.

Receive Firm FFC proof

The end target of the Stand in Principal route is a firm that has proof of Firm FFC, subject to PPRA processing and client cooperation.

Launch operating setup

The Agency Package helps with FIC, RMCP, brandable documents and portal application support.

Use Support if needed

The monthly Support Package gives you an enquiry and guidance channel after the main service delivery.
