Pre-licence assessment

Licensing Readiness Review

A practical gap review against Taiwanese supervisory expectations for payment, electronic payment, or lending activities before you approach counsel or a filing timeline.

Who this is for

Teams planning an electronic payment institution path, a payment service expansion, or a consumer-finance registration who need a plain-language inventory of missing policies, people, and evidence.

Result you leave with

A readiness matrix keyed to common filing themes—governance, capital narrative, AML programme shape, consumer protection, and operational resilience—plus a shortlist of documents still to draft.

Scope

Included

  • Document inventory against a readiness checklist
  • Interviews with proposed responsible officers
  • Gap notes for AML, complaints, and safeguarding narratives
  • Suggested sequencing for counsel and internal owners

Outside this engagement

  • Drafting or filing the licence application
  • Acting as your compliance officer of record
  • Guarantees of regulatory approval

How the work runs

We treat readiness as a portfolio of evidence, not a checklist score.

    Boundary map

    Clarify which activities are in scope and which remain out of licence for now.

  2. 2

    Evidence desk review

    Compare existing policies and drafts to typical filing expectations.

  3. 3

    Gap workshop

    Walk leadership through missing artefacts and realistic timelines.

Duration

Two to four weeks depending on document maturity.

Delivery

Mostly remote, with one on-site workshop available in Taiwan.

Preparation

Gather current drafts of AML policy, org chart, capital plan summary, and customer journey maps.
