Licence Applications

We assess your activities, products, clients, distribution model and jurisdictions to determine which permissions may be required. We also identify critical assumptions, exemptions, dependencies and regulatory risks before significant investment is committed.

We help design the governance, decision-making, policies, control functions, outsourcing arrangements and operational processes needed for the proposed activities. Roles and responsibilities are made clear and supported by credible capacity and expertise.

We coordinate and draft the required business, governance, risk and compliance documentation. A structured evidence matrix helps ensure that submissions are complete, internally consistent and traceable to the relevant requirements.

We support proposed policymakers and key function holders in understanding their responsibilities and preparing for the assessment process. This includes role profiles, evidence of knowledge and experience, governance scenarios and interview preparation.

We help manage questions, document requests and meetings throughout the application process. Responses remain timely, accurate and aligned across the organisation.

We turn the commitments made in the application into working processes, controls, systems, reporting and training. This closes the gap between receiving authorisation and being able to operate in a controlled way.

We support investment firms with regulatory scoping, AFM licence applications, operating model design and implementation of MiFID II organisational and investor-protection requirements.

We support alternative investment fund managers with authorisation or registration questions, governance, fund and manager documentation, risk and liquidity arrangements, delegation, reporting and operational readiness.
