It requires regulatory authorisation supported by strong governance, effective risk management, and a comprehensive compliance framework.

Your Questions Answered
What does the FMA expect from applicants?
Substance over paperwork: credible governance with fit-and-proper leadership, a realistic business plan, effective AML/CFT arrangements, adequate capital, and genuine operational readiness before submission.
How long does authorisation usually take?
Several months to a year depending on licence type, plus preparation time. Complete, well-evidenced applications move through regulatory review considerably faster than incomplete ones.
Can you prepare the application for us?
We prepare it with you. Our specialists draft the documentation and build the frameworks behind it, while your leadership owns the business plan and regulatory relationship.
What happens after the licence is granted?
Supervision begins. Governance, reporting, AML/CFT, and notification obligations apply from day one, so we help newly authorised firms move into sustainable ongoing compliance.
Do you support passporting into other countries?
Yes. Austrian authorisation can generally be passported across the EU through host-state notifications, and we support the process including the obligations that remain local.
