Application support · Fund management
Get structured help with a relevant fund-management licence application. We start by understanding the business you plan to operate and identifying the appropriate pathway—not by handing you a generic document pack.
Discuss your applicationBefore work begins
We first look at the business you plan to operate, then assess the relevant regime and application scope. Choosing a label at the outset is not a substitute for that assessment.
For a proposed accredited and institutional licensed fund management company, we need to consider the operating model, clientele, activities, people and controls together. Our A/I LFMC application preparation guide explains what to gather about the team, ownership, funding and proposed business before engaging an adviser.
We consider the VCFM pathway separately against your proposed funds and activity. It is not simply a lighter version of an A/I LFMC application. If your proposed CEO comes from industry, our VCFM licence and industry-experience guide explains how to connect that experience with the proposed investment mandate.
How we can help
The exact steps will depend on your readiness, the complexity of the application and how we agree to divide the work.
Clarify the regulated activity, clientele, structure, people, funds and target operating model.
Identify the information needed, who owns each input, any material gaps and a sensible preparation sequence.
Support the drafting and assembly of agreed materials, including selected supporting policies.
Help organise and prepare responses within scope, while you remain responsible for every representation.
Working together
Your proposal sets out the preparation work, information needed and who takes each decision.
We help prepare the agreed application materials, selected policies and responses to MAS queries.
Your firm appoints legal, tax, fund-formation or capital-raising advisers separately where needed. We agree how their inputs fit into the preparation plan.
Your firm retains responsibility for the business and its compliance. Regulatory approval and timing remain subject to MAS’s assessment.
Who you work with
The founder leads the initial scoping and the preparation work included in your engagement, and remains your point of contact through any regulator-query support covered by the scope.
What happens after you contact us
We discuss the proposed activity, the people and arrangements already in place, and any immediate readiness questions.
You receive a written proposal explaining the work, information needed, responsibilities, exclusions, sequence and proposed fees.
Once agreed, we organise the inputs, confirm who owns each item and begin the preparation work in the agreed order.
Review our published LFMC application fee and scope before we discuss the work your firm needs. We confirm the relevant pathway, deliverables, responsibilities and fees in writing before work begins. VCFM application support is scoped separately.
Start with a conversation
A 20-minute introductory call can help clarify the proposed activity, your current readiness and whether application support may be a good fit.
