Offering cryptoasset services in the UK requires FCA registration. Our experienced consultants guide you through the complex registration process and support you with ongoing compliance, enabling you to operate confidently and grow your business.
Registration as a cryptoasset business demands careful planning and a clear demonstration of your commitment to the UK’s anti-financial crime requirements. The FCA will expect you to evidence robust systems and controls, show you understand your regulatory obligations, and prove that you will operate with integrity. We tailor your application to reflect your business model, while ensuring it is regulator-ready and capable of withstanding FCA scrutiny.
Our support does not end once you are registered. We provide ongoing consultancy to help you meet your continuing obligations, from anti-financial crime audits to regulatory change assessments and training for your teams.

Speak to us to understand what preparation looks like and how we can help you build an application that stands up to scrutiny.
