YOUR INVESTORS DIDN’T FUND A LICENSE APPLICATION.
THEY FUNDED A BUSINESS.
You closed the round. The press release went out. The money arrived. Now the less glamorous question: can you legally launch?

A fresh licensing application can take months — and sometimes considerably longer. Meanwhile, your company keeps burning capital.
There may be another route: instead of building the regulatory infrastructure from zero, acquire an existing licensed entity and pursue the appropriate change-of-control process.
Raise capital to build the business. Use capital strategically to accelerate the license.
You don't literally “buy a license.” You acquire a licensed company.
In most jurisdictions the transaction is an acquisition of a regulated entity, subject to regulatory change-of-control approval. We manage the commercial process around it.
Identify
We source licensed financial businesses available for acquisition — payments, money transmission, EMI/PI, MSB and more — across multiple jurisdictions.
Evaluate
Commercial and regulatory due diligence: corporate history, compliance infrastructure, banking relationships, what the premium actually buys.
Acquire
Structure the transaction and pursue change-of-control approval — so you enter the market months, not years, from now.
Can you legally launch?
Let’s make the answer yes — sooner.
