LICENSING ADVISORY

Licensing is the critical starting point of any business, especially in the financial sector.  

Licensing admission is granted by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) in accordance with the licensing criteria in the statutes pertaining to each financial service (“regulated activity”). 

Our licensing advisory encompasses: 

• assisting our clients in understanding the full licensing criteria pertinent to their intended business model,  
• assistance in the application submission,  
• addressing queries from MAS. 

Our aim is to ensure that our licensing clients submit an accurate and comprehensive application to MAS, and to satisfactorily address any post-submission queries from MAS.   

We advise our clients from end-to-end so that our clients are well-positioned to receive their license promptly to commence their financial services business. 

We have a track record and long experience of having successfully advised numerous financial services license applications. 

We also advise on seeking regulatory approvals to acquire existing financial services licensees.
