Future success needs direction – we help you develop a robust strategy that aligns regulation, market opportunities and digital potential
Schedule a no-obligation consultationRegulated undertakings – whether new business models, changes in management or market entry – require early and structured planning. We guide you from the initial assessment through to successful approval by BaFin, the ECB or the German Bundesbank
We guide you through the licensing process in four proven steps – with clear deliverables and reliable results at every stage
We analyse your business model and systematically assess whether a licence is required under KWG, ZAG or WpIG. Relevant regulatory facts are identified, and initial recommendations are derived.
Service: Structured assessment with a clear recommendation.
Outcome: Clear determination of licensing requirements, regulatory classification and an initial roadmap.
Together, we define the optimal licensing strategy – tailored to your business model and the expected review process. We structure the documentation, timeline, and responsibilities.
Service: Comprehensive documentation checklist, timeline, and resource planning.
Outcome: Clear project structure, documented requirements, realistic timelines.
We prepare or review all required application documents – including business plans, organisational manuals, and procedures. Our approach is based on current regulatory requirements and proven templates.
Service: Regulatory-compliant, structured preparation or revision of all documentation.
Outcome: Complete, up-to-date and submission-ready application package.
Throughout the licensing process, we act as your reliable partner – from handling regulatory follow-ups to coordinating the final approvals.
Service: Coordination with supervisory authorities, deadline monitoring, drafting of formal responses.
Outcome: Smooth process through to final approval. Recommendation: We also offer support through our project management service.
That depends on the specifics of your business model. We assess whether your planned service falls under regulatory supervision – for example under the KWG, ZAG, KAGB, MiCAR or VAG.
The duration varies depending on the service and preparation – typically between 12 and 18 months. Good planning, complete documentation and early clarification with the regulator can significantly accelerate the process.
Depending on your case, you may need to submit: business plan, capital evidence, organisational charts, governance documents, risk analysis, compliance and IT concepts, and organisational policies. We prepare a customised checklist with all relevant requirements for you.
In theory, yes – but in practice we strongly recommend experienced guidance. Regulatory requirements are complex, and procedural changes are common. Without specialised support, the process is often significantly delayed.
Yes. If needed, we take over direct communication with the regulator, coordinate follow-up questions, and guide you through every phase of the approval process – right up to successful licensing.
