The Fast-Track Option
Where a client needs to be operational sooner, a fast-track route compresses the timeline to approximately six weeks — over 50% faster than the standard process. It is available on request and depends on the applicant having complete documentation ready at the outset.
The fast track does not change the standard the application is held to. Due diligence, KYC and the regulator's own assessment are unchanged; what changes is the speed at which the file moves between stages.
What We Need From You
The single largest cause of delay is incomplete documentation. Applicants who have their corporate documents, shareholder identification and source-of-funds evidence ready move through stage one in days rather than weeks. The team provides a full checklist at the start of the engagement.
Timelines are indicative and depend on the completeness of your documentation and regulator workload. No licence outcome is guaranteed.
