Frequently asked questions
Which CMA licence do I need?
It depends on the securities activities you plan to carry out. We map your business model to the right activities in the discovery stage, subject to the regulator’s final confirmation.
Do you guarantee a licence?
No firm can. Licences are granted at the regulator’s discretion. We make sure your application is complete, well prepared and properly followed up.
Are regulatory fees included?
No. Regulator fees, capital requirements and VAT are separate from our professional fees and are listed in every proposal.
