What we do

From first application to full authorisation, and beyond.

Five practices, one team. Whether you're entering a market, scaling compliance, building the stack, or repairing a relationship with your regulator.

Licence Applications

End-to-end authorisation support: EMI, PI, investment firm, crypto-asset and banking licences. We build the application the regulator wants to read, and we sit beside you through every question that follows.

Compliance & RegTech

Compliance frameworks engineered for scale, not shelf-ware. AI-driven monitoring, horizon scanning and regulatory reporting that keep pace with your growth and your regulator's expectations.

Learn more →

Go-to-Market & Setup

Market entry strategy, entity structuring, operating model design and key-person hiring. We turn a licence into a functioning, revenue-ready regulated business.

Turnaround & Remediation

When authorisations stall or regulators lose confidence, we step in with remediation programmes, skilled-person reviews and the difficult conversations that rebuild trust.

Technology

The stack behind the licence: core platform and vendor selection, architecture that satisfies regulators, AI implementation done responsibly, and the operational resilience (DORA-ready) that supervisors now test hard. Built by people who have run technology inside regulated firms.

Why Perimeter

AI-native. Regulator-fluent.

Lived experience

Decades spent inside applications, supervisory meetings and enforcement rooms across the globe. We know what regulators ask before they ask it.

AI & RegTech leverage

Machine-assisted drafting, gap analysis, horizon scanning and evidence management, cutting application timelines and error rates without cutting corners.

Outcome ownership

We don't hand you a template and wish you luck. We stay engaged until the licence is granted, the framework is live, or the turnaround is complete.
