Global Regulatory Licensing Services
Kroll's expert compliance consulting team provides regulatory registration and licensing services taking the burden of regulatory requirements off business operators.
New Market Entrants Face Significant Challenges When Applying for Licenses
The licensing process for financial services firms has become increasingly difficult to navigate across all key financial services jurisdictions. The remit of financial services regulators is wider than ever before, and the landscape is increasingly complex with diverging local requirements.
In certain jurisdictions, new market entrants face significant challenges when applying for licenses. Startups should establish a strong compliance system from the start to navigate the licensing process smoothly and handle increased regulatory scrutiny during early growth. To succeed, new entrants must understand regulatory expectations and the local licensing process. Our experts specialize in helping you meet regulators' requirements by providing a customized policy and procedure framework as part of our services.
Kroll Can Secure Your License and Help You Create a Compliance Culture
Kroll will assist with securing your license and advise on the systems, technologies and processes that must be put in place to foster a compliance culture. This ensures clients are meeting the code of ethics, regulatory reporting and records obligations. This allows you to focus on marketing, fundraising or other activities required during start-up.
Kroll has unrivalled expertise supporting firms to complete a range of regulatory transactions across multiple jurisdictions. This may include applying with local regulators to initiate business operations, expanding an existing business, varying the current scope of activities or making changes to firm ownership or senior personnel.
