Operational Substance
Local presence, qualified staffing and infrastructure that demonstrate genuine establishment, not a shell.
“Substance” is what separates a real licensed business from a brass plate. We help you establish genuine local presence — qualified people, premises, systems and outsourcing oversight — that satisfies the establishment tests regulators apply.
What’s included
- Local establishment and staffing plan
- Key-function holder recruitment support
- Premises, systems and infrastructure setup
- Outsourcing and third-party risk oversight
- Business continuity and operational resilience
- Evidence pack for substance and establishment
