Our Services Include

Licence Eligibility Assessment

We analyse your corporate structure, ownership, governance arrangements, and financial standing to determine licensing eligibility in each jurisdiction. This includes assessing fit-and-proper requirements, capital thresholds, VAT status, technical capability, and the applicability of foreign-entity rules.

Preparation of Licensing Documentation

Our team prepares, coordinates, and reviews all materials required for a successful application, including corporate certificates, governance documents, financial statements, technical declarations, risk-management descriptions, and compliance attestations. We ensure every submission reflects local regulatory expectations.

Liaison with National Regulators

We communicate directly with ministries, energy authorities, and regulatory commissions throughout the application process. This includes managing regulator queries, clarifying technical matters, providing supplementary documentation, and ensuring the application proceeds efficiently to approval.

Technical & Operational Prerequisites

Many jurisdictions require certain prerequisites before a licence can be issued. We help establish or validate:

  • Market communication capabilities

  • Data-exchange and reporting systems

  • Settlement, metering, and nomination readiness

  • Designation of local representatives or contact points

We ensure the applicant is fully aligned with the operational standards expected by regulators and TSOs.

Compliance Integration

We embed the necessary compliance frameworks including, REMIT, EMIR, MiFID II, and national sectoral obligations, into the application process. This ensures the licensed entity can begin trading without delays or risk of remediation actions once authorisation is granted.

End-to-End Project Management

We oversee the licensing process from initial scoping to final approval, coordinating with internal teams, legal counsel, regulators, and system operators. Clients receive clear timelines, document checklists, status updates, and confirmation of successful licence issuance.
