Pending decisions before launch
11 of 11 unresolved. These block the noindex flip.
- ?Add retiredborrowing.co.uk zone to info@rank4ai CF + custom domain + AI Crawl Control OFF owner: Adam
.co.uk/.uk/.com available + TM-clear; Adam buying. Deployed to retiredborrowing.pages.dev. Then attach custom domain + AI toggle.
- ?Secure an FCA-authorised principal / IAR before the adviser-introduction CTA goes live owner: Adam
Organic runs on the mere-introducer exemption; the CTA to introduce to advisers needs an FCA-authorised principal/IAR. Until then = editorial/information only.
- ?Run full niche-attack on the equity-release angles owner: Claude
NICHE-ANGLES.md: lease extensions, flats/leasehold, returning Spain expats, divorce, interest-only shortfall, care, gifting, bereavement. Win on lay-language + trigger/blocker + AI-citation (fortress head SERP).
- ?Lead capture pending corrected central pattern owner: Adam
Separate central workstream; no capture wired yet.
- ?Archive/delete the old bare ~/equity-release stub repo owner: Adam
Superseded by retiredborrowing (was 1-page no-brand stub).
- ?Pick brand name + register .co.uk domain owner: Adam
Working name TBD. Domain shortlist when ready.
- ?Identify + sign with FCA-authorised principal for IAR appointment owner: Adam
Equity-release adviser network. Principal notifies FCA 30 days before appointment. Cost: network fee (few hundred to few thousand pounds/year) + referral split. Compliance consultant can broker. IAR keeps us inside RAO Art.33 (introducing to authorised firm) AND lets us run an FCA-approved 'find an adviser' CTA under FSMA s.21.
- ?Build the ERC-member adviser panel (lead destinations) owner: Adam
Must refer to Equity Release Council members (major lenders only accept ERC-member advisers). 4-6 panel firms minimum for geographic coverage.
- ?Decide payment structure with adviser panel (flat fee vs commission) owner: Adam
Flat referral fee is SAFER than commission per completed case (commission strengthens an argument that we're 'arranging', which would need authorisation). Discuss with principal.
- ?GDPR/PECR consent flow with named recipient(s) owner: Adam
Data controller; explicit consent naming the recipient(s) (generic 'we may share with partners' is NOT enough). PECR opt-in if advisers will phone/email. Data-sharing agreement with each adviser firm. Clear privacy policy.
- ?Vulnerability framework: equity release audience is largely elderly owner: Adam
FCA vulnerability framework applies. No pressure tactics/urgency, accessible design, signpost it's a major long-term decision, suggest discussing with family/solicitor.
