Buy-Side Advisory — Flat Fee Schedule
One schedule, every jurisdiction. Your fee is set by where the final purchase price lands — flat, known in advance, no percentages. The fee covers target sourcing, screening, deal structuring, negotiation support, and the change-of-control regulatory filing. Purchase price, escrow, and local counsel are always separate.
Buy a License — Flat Advisory Fee by Deal Size
| Band | Deal Size (Purchase Price) | FK Flat Advisory Fee |
|---|---|---|
| B-1 | Up to $150,000 | $12,000 – $15,000 |
| B-2 | $150,000 – $500,000 | $25,000 |
| B-3 | $500,000 – $1,000,000 | $50,000 – $60,000 |
| B-4 | $1,000,000 – $2,000,000 | $75,000 – $90,000 |
| B-5 | $2,000,000 – $5,000,000 | $125,000 – $150,000 |
| B-6 | $5,000,000 – $10,000,000 | $225,000 – $300,000 |
| B-7 | $10,000,000 + | $400,000 – $500,000 |
Payment terms: 50% of the flat fee on engagement, balance at closing. The engagement portion covers sourcing, screening, and structuring work and is earned regardless of whether a specific target completes. The applicable band is determined by the final purchase price at closing; within-band position reflects deal complexity and jurisdiction.
RPAA — Retail Payment Activities Act Registration
Canada now runs a two-track regime. FINTRAC MSB registration covers your AML obligations; RPAA registration with the Bank of Canada is a separate, mandatory registration for payment service providers performing retail payment activities — with its own operational risk, incident response, and end-user funds safeguarding requirements. Most operators entering Canada need both. Fees below are FK LLC professional fees; Bank of Canada registration and annual assessment fees are billed separately by the regulator.
RPAA Scope of Work & Professional Fees
| Item | Scope of Work | FK Professional Fee | Typical Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| R-01 | RPAA Registration — StandaloneFull Bank of Canada PSP registration application: entity classification, activity mapping, application drafting, and regulator liaison through to registration. | From $18,000 | 2–4 months |
| R-02 | Canada Entry Bundle — FINTRAC MSB + RPAABoth registrations prepared and filed together, one coordinated flow-of-funds narrative across both regulators. The standard package for new entrants. | From $35,000bundle — saves vs. separate filings | 3–6 months |
| R-03 | Operational Risk & Incident Response FrameworkThe RPAA-mandated risk management and incident response framework, drafted to Bank of Canada expectations and tailored to your stack. | From $12,500 | 3–5 weeks |
| R-04 | End-User Funds Safeguarding FrameworkSafeguarding policy, account structuring guidance, and the trust / insurance arrangements the RPAA requires for holding end-user funds. | From $10,000 | 3–5 weeks |
| R-05 | Ongoing RPAA Compliance SupportAnnual reporting, significant-change notifications, and regulator correspondence handled on retainer. | From $7,500per year | Ongoing |
Already registered with FINTRAC but not the Bank of Canada? If you perform retail payment activities, RPAA registration is not optional — operating unregistered carries enforcement risk. We handle late-entrant registrations and remediation of existing frameworks to RPAA standard.
