REASONS FOR ACTION

6.
On the basis of the facts and matters and conclusions described in its Warning
Notice issued to Made 2 Measure dated 10 March 2016 and in the Decision Notice,
it appears to the Authority that Made 2 Measure is failing to satisfy the suitability
Threshold Condition, in that the Authority is not satisfied that Made 2 Measure is
a fit and proper person having regard to all the circumstances, including whether
Made 2 Measure 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 Made 2 Measure has failed to comply with the regulatory
requirement to submit the Return. Made 2 Measure has not been open and co-
operative in all its dealings with the Authority, in that Made 2 Measure 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 Made 2 Measure’s
suitability, lead the Authority to conclude that Made 2 Measure 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 Made 2 Measure has had a permission.
