Frequently Asked Questions for Initial Consultations
01Which Is Faster: A New Application or an Acquisition?+
There is no universal answer. A new application depends on readiness and regulatory assessment; an acquisition also involves due diligence, approval of changes in control and continuity of personnel, and cannot be guaranteed to be faster.
02Can You Guarantee a Licence or Bank Account Opening?+
No. Licences are independently approved by the competent regulator; banks independently conduct due diligence. We provide preparation and coordination services and do not promise approval outcomes.
03What should I prepare for the first discussion?+
Please prepare an overview of products and customers, fund flows, proposed entity, shareholder backgrounds, capital budget and timeline. Do not upload identity documents or customer information through the public form.
