Regulatory Permissions
We assist firms to obtain the required regulatory permissions to conduct regulated activities. We can write or advise on governance and compliance frameworks and documentation and assist firms in implementing them and demonstrating that they are embedded and that controls are working. We can also assist with the structuring and evidencing of effective governance arrangements and support the regulator-liaison journey throughout the process.
Regulatory Compliance & Payments Licensing Support
Navigating regulation. Enabling growth. Securing authorisation.
Lysis Group provides specialist regulatory compliance and licensing advisory to firms seeking to become authorised, expand operations, or enhance governance. We support clients across payment services, e-money, crypto assets, and digital finance in meeting evolving regulatory expectations in the UK, EU, and globally.
Licensing & Authorisation
We guide firms through end-to-end authorisation processes with regulatory bodies including the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Central Bank of Ireland (CBoI), and other EU and international authorities.
Our licensing services include:
• Applications for Electronic Money Institution (EMI) and Payment Institution (PI) authorisations
• Support for FCA crypto asset firm registrations and FSMA authorisations under the Financial Services and Markets Act for digital asset service providers
• Development of regulatory business plans, financial models, and risk frameworks
• Preparation of governance, compliance and control documentation
• Management of regulator engagement throughout the application lifecycle
• Develop Regulatory Strategy – high-level regulatory strategy and indicative costings
• Execute Regulatory Strategy – develop the compliance and operating models and technology platform, apply for licenses, set up the operation
• Refine Regulatory Strategy - we would envisage some further refinement of the regulatory strategy during the early stages of execution
We have extensive experience in securing approvals for firms operating in regulated digital assets and emerging payment services.
Regulatory Compliance Advisory
Beyond authorisation, we advise on the design and delivery of practical, risk-aligned compliance frameworks that meet regulatory and commercial objectives.
Our services include:
• Design and implementation of compliance policies and procedures
• AML / CTF programme development, including Enterprise-Wide Risk Assessments (EWRA) and Risk Rating Methodologies (RRM)
• Setup of Three Lines of Defence governance models
• Regulatory gap analysis and remediation support
• Financial Stability and Reporting Strategy & Plan
• Interim Compliance Officer and MLRO placement
We regularly advise senior leadership and compliance functions on best practice, thematic review outcomes, and regulator expectations.
