FAQs

Can you handle end-to-end licensing?

We can. Our key focus is on the financial crime, risk and governance track - areas regulators scrutinise most and where applicants are frequently challenged. We make this part of the application clear, defensible, and well-evidenced. If you require full end-to-end licensing, we can coordinate fully in-house or plug into your existing application process and work alongside your current advisors.

What makes you different?

We are a small, senior team that works with a limited number of clients at a time. We design right-sized, audit-ready controls and deliver them in scoped sprints - not paper compliance, not a conveyor belt. You get clear ownership, evidence you can stand behind, and guidance aligned to regulatory expectations and how supervisors assess quality. Our aim is simple - deliver outcomes, provide practical solutions, transfer know-how, and earn the status of a trusted advisor.

How do you prevent templated work?

We learn your products, customers, markets and risks first, then design frameworks and controls to fit them. Templates are used only where standard forms are expected. Each deliverable states its purpose, where the supporting evidence lives, who owns it, and when it will be reviewed. We build alongside your team and leave working controls and reporting in your environment with a clean handover.

How do you price the work?

We price by scope. Projects run as fixed-scope sprints with defined deliverables, timelines and acceptance criteria agreed up front. For ongoing needs, we offer retainer or on-demand support with clear estimates and pre-approval before work begins.
