How we work.

  • Senior-ledEvery engagement is led by the practitioners who prepare the application and attend the regulator.
  • Same dayA reply within three business hours and a written proposal the same day: the licence, the requirements, the cost and the timing, before you commit.
  • ConfidentialYour plans, your application and any listing stay private. Clients are named only with their agreement.
  • Live workspaceEvery engagement runs in a shared workspace on Hector: documents, regulator questions, messages and progress in one place, visible to your team at every stage.

Why firms choose BCC.

  • OperatorsWe have taken firms through licensing, run regulated payments and consumer credit businesses, and signed the regulatory returns ourselves.
  • BankingSafeguarding, operating and settlement accounts arranged alongside the authorisation, through the institutions that serve this market.
  • FoundersThe firm is run by founders who have built and run regulated payments businesses, so every position is given with the launch date and the cost of waiting in mind.
  • One firmLicensing, key people, banking, compliance, technology and transactions from the same team, for the life of the regulated firm.

Which licence, where, and what it costs.

A written proposal the same day: the licence that fits, the requirements, the cost and the timing.
