Dedicated compliance capacity for regulated fintech and crypto businesses
Compliance doesn't end at licensing. A retainer replaces reactive consulting with reserved capacity, clear ownership, and consistent support
Why standard consulting fails
Each request starts from scratch. Context is lost between engagements.
No single person accountable for regulatory topics across the business.
Response times depend on consultant availability, not your operational needs.
This model is built for regulated businesses that are already operational
Regulated
Fintech Companies
Licensed payment institutions and EMIs with ongoing AML, banking, and operational compliance requirements.
Crypto
Businesses
CASP, VASP, or MSB-registered companies navigating continuous regulatory obligations post-launch.
Teams Without In-House Compliance
Companies that need consistent regulatory expertise without the cost and complexity of a full-time hire.
How the retainer model works
A retainer replaces ad-hoc requests with reserved compliance capacity. The support is structured, the ownership is defined, and the relationship is continuous.

How we engage
Structured retainer terms — so you have dedicated access when it matters. Pricing and hours scale with commitment length.
What a retainer changes in practice:
One person responsible for your compliance. No ambiguity about who to contact or who owns the answer.
Defined access to support within agreed terms. Not subject to consultant availability or competing priorities.
Response times and engagement scope are agreed upfront. No uncertainty when regulatory questions arise.
Continuous accountability for regulatory topics across your business. Not a one-off opinion, but an ongoing responsibility.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from standard consulting?
Standard consulting is reactive. You submit a request, wait for availability, and receive a one-off answer without continuity. A retainer means reserved capacity, a defined relationship, and a compliance officer who understands your business before the question is asked.
How do I know if I need a retainer or a one-time engagement?
If your business has ongoing regulatory obligations – AML requirements, banking relationships, operational decisions with compliance impact – a retainer is the more efficient structure. One-time engagements work for isolated questions. They do not work for running a regulated business.
What if our compliance needs change during the engagement?
Engagements are structured in defined phases with scope agreed at each stage. If your needs change, the terms are reassessed before proceeding. There are no long-term commitments without mutual agreement.
What does an engagement typically cost?
Fees are scoped to the specific situation and discussed during an initial consultation. Pricing reflects the volume of support required and the length of the engagement. How quickly can we start? Onboarding begins with an initial assessment of your regulatory setup and compliance requirements. Timeline depends on current capacity and the complexity of your situation.
Ready to move from reactive compliance to structured support?
