Advising on Capital, Financing, and Distribution

We advise on corporate finance transactions, credit and leasing arrangements, and the distribution of financial products, and manage the FSC licensing that supports each.

Overview

Advising on Capital, Financing, and Distribution

We work with businesses at the transaction level, advising on structure and execution, and handle the FSC licensing that allows a business to operate in corporate finance advisory, credit finance, or product distribution on an ongoing basis.

Requirements

Requirements & Eligibility

When This Service Applies

  • A business wants to provide corporate finance advisory services, such as capital raising or transaction structuring
  • A business wants to provide credit, factoring, or leasing finance to clients

  • An existing licence holder needs support with a specific transaction or ongoing compliance

Licensing Considerations

  • Each licence category carries its own capital adequacy and compliance requirements, which should be scoped against the business's intended scale
  • Corporate finance advisory work is often transaction-specific, so licensing should be planned alongside the pipeline of anticipated mandates
  • Distribution of Financial Products licensing depends on the specific products being distributed and the client base being served
