Licensing readiness audits before you expand the product map.
We test whether your fintech can show regulators — and your board — a credible path to the licences your next market requires.
Primary engagement
Licensing Readiness Audit — a structured review of the licence pathways, evidence, and ownership your expansion plan depends on.
You receive a pathway map, ranked gaps, and a sequenced pack your compliance and product leads can take into counsel or regulator dialogue. Pricing is informational; work begins after a written proposal.

Common questions
Is Software Engineer a software product?
No. We deliver licensing readiness audits as a professional service for fintech firms expanding into new markets. You keep your product stack; we assess licence pathways, evidence gaps, and application readiness.
What does a licensing readiness audit cover?
Target-licence mapping, ownership and governance gaps, capital and conduct evidence, outsourcing and custody arrangements, and a sequenced plan toward application or regulator dialogue — scoped to the jurisdictions you name.
Do you file licence applications for us?
We prepare readiness findings and evidence packs. Filing and legal representation remain with your counsel or compliance lead unless a separate written engagement says otherwise.
How do fees work?
Prices on this site are informational starting points. After a scoping conversation we send a written proposal with scope, timeline, and fees. This site does not process payments.
