Structured Approach – Tangible Results

We guide you through the licensing process in four proven steps – with clear deliverables and reliable results at every stage

1

Analysis

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.

2

Application Strategy & Advisory

Together, we define the optimal licensing strategy – tailored to your business model and the expected review process. We structure the documentation, timeline, and responsibilities.

3

Application Drafting

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.

4

Implementation Support

Throughout the licensing process, we act as your reliable partner – from handling regulatory follow-ups to coordinating the final approvals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Clarity before the first meeting

When is a licence required for my business model?

Erweiterung

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.

How long does a typical licensing process take?

Erweiterung

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.

What documents must be submitted to the competent authorities?

Erweiterung

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.

Can we submit the licence application ourselves, or do we need a consultant?

Erweiterung

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.

Does Finoventis support communication with the competent authorities?

Erweiterung

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.
