Perimeter exists to get regulated and soon-to-be-regulated firms across the perimeter and keep them there. Between now and February the cryptoasset gateway takes most of our capacity, and everything on this page is delivered by the same four people.
Every engagement is delivered by the people you meet on the first call: chief executive, compliance officer, finance officer and technologist. There is no delivery layer underneath us.
End to end preparation and submission of authorisation applications: cryptoasset firms under FSMA, electronic money institutions, payment institutions, investment firms and banking licences. We draft the regulatory business plan, the financial projections, the governance map, the compliance and financial crime frameworks and the wind-down plan, then take the submission through to determination.
Compliance frameworks built to scale with the business rather than to satisfy a single inspection. Three lines of defence, AML and counter-terrorist financing, sanctions, KYC and customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, SAR reporting and conduct risk, with the management information a board can actually govern from.
The FCA's interim safeguarding rules took effect on 7 May 2026 and changed the day to day obligations for every electronic money and payment institution. Daily internal and external reconciliations, monthly regulatory returns within fifteen business days, a resolution pack retrievable within forty eight hours, and an annual independent safeguarding audit filed within four months of period end.
Applications that have stalled, firms under supervisory pressure, and the reviews that follow. Our compliance principal has led Section 166 skilled person reviews and has taken firms through intense regulatory scrutiny, banking partner assurance and supervisory exit. That experience is the difference between responding to a regulator and satisfying one.
Platform selection, regulatory-compliant architecture and the operational resilience evidence a regulator expects to see. Written by a chief technology officer who has built and run the platforms, which is why these sections read as engineering rather than as assertion.
Entity structuring across jurisdictions, market entry sequencing, senior manager and approved person planning, and the hiring you have to do before a regulator will take the application seriously.
Cryptoasset authorisation under FSMA, e-money and payment institutions, investment firms, safeguarding and the supervisory relationship that follows.
EMI and payment institution authorisation, MiCA-facing structuring, and choosing a home state you can actually live with.
DFSA and FSRA pathways, mainland structuring, and the practical differences between a licence that looks right and one that trades.
The gateway engagements are priced on the home page. Everything on this page is quoted as a fixed fee after a short scoping call, never as an open-ended day rate. If we cannot price it, we will say why.
Not a sales call. Bring your permissions and your current documentation and you will leave knowing whether you have a five month problem or a five week one.
