How we help

Build

Business advice for Web3 and fintech startups

A business model that works without the hype: business plan, forecasts, unit economics, structure and funding readiness. Many teams have strong technology and no clear way to make money. That is what we fix.

Regulation

FCA authorisation readiness

The UK's new cryptoasset regime brings custody, trading platforms, arranging deals, lending and staking under FCA authorisation. We prepare the business side of your application: the business plan, financial projections, governance, operating model and resourcing. Our partner solicitors handle the regulatory legal advice.

Treasury

Digital-asset policy for businesses

If your company is considering holding cryptoassets or accepting them as payment, we help you set a clear written policy: limits, approvals, risk controls and reporting. Accounting and tax treatment is handled with our partner accountants.

Diligence

Business due diligence for investors

An independent check on a Web3 or fintech business before you invest: is the business model real, do the numbers hold up, is the team and governance sound, and is it ready for regulation?

Founders

International fintech founders

For founders building in the UK through routes such as the Innovator Founder visa, we prepare the business side. Your visa application is handled by a regulated immigration adviser or solicitor.
