Financial Licensing Support

Licensing is about more than getting an approval letter. Regulators want to see that your business model, capital, governance, and controls are thought through and sustainable. We help you build that story, document it properly, and stand behind it in conversations with the regulator. 

​

We support applications for licences such as: MSB, PSP/EMI, VASP, brokerage & securities dealer, asset management, and digital banking across the UAE and other key jurisdictions such as Canada, UAE, Mauritius, Seychelles, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
