FAQ
We help assess your planned services and authorisation route, review application readiness, prepare legal documentation and support regulatory communications. The engagement is tailored to your business and the work your team has already completed.
The overall timetable depends on your planned services, the readiness of your organisation and documentation, and the regulatory review. Preparation and regulatory assessment are separate stages. Following an initial review, we can help plan the preparation work and identify factors that may affect the timetable. We do not guarantee an approval date.
A short description of your planned crypto-asset services, target customers and markets is a useful starting point. Tell us where your company is established, who will manage the business and what compliance documentation you already have. We can then identify the next steps and the information needed.
We can advise on ongoing compliance, policy updates, staff training, regulatory reporting and changes to your business or authorisation scope. The work is agreed separately according to your operational needs.
Legal fees depend on the services you plan to offer, the complexity of your organisation and the amount of preparation required. Regulatory fees and the cost of setting up and running your business are separate from legal fees. Contact us with an outline of your project so we can discuss the scope of work and provide a fee proposal.
