The FSA has launched 14 sector-specific tailored handbooks of its rules and guidance for small firms, including insurance brokers, independent financial advisers and friendly societies.
The new publications, which are 90% smaller than the full handbook, provide the most relevant information for each industry segment, the regulator said.
Mark Threipland, chief counsel (handbook and EU) at the FSA, said: "We've known for some time that the full handbook may seem a daunting prospect for small firms as it covers a huge range of financial services business.
"Firms have asked us for bespoke rulebooks, and these tailored handbooks provide the most pertinent material firms need."
