In 2023, Integrity Consulting achieved notable success with three successful FMC (Fund Management Company) license applications, showcasing our proficiency in navigating the intricate regulatory landscape. Furthermore, our commitment to excellence was exemplified by our swift and effective assistance in securing a venture capital fund manager license for a valued client within a mere four months. This accomplishment is particularly noteworthy given the challenging licensing environment prevalent in 2023. These achievements underscore our dedication to facilitating the regulatory compliance journey for our clients, demonstrating not only our expertise but also our ability to navigate complexities efficiently and deliver results even in challenging circumstances.

We are proud to have helped many clients obtain their MAS licences quickly and with the most explanation along the way as to how the process works and the concerns of the MAS. This is so even in recent times when the MAS has become increasingly stringent. We stress that while our skill and understanding of the MAS requirements played an important part, the key determinant of the success of the applicant is how the customer is able to satisfy the MAS’ requirements. While we are skilled, the honest truth is that if a firm does not meet MAS’ requirements, we cannot bring the customer across the finish line. What we can do is to work closely with you to help you demonstrate how your intended business and set up does meet MAS requirements.

We are straightforward and aim to be clear and objective in helping our customers understand the MAS’ expectations and requirements. We do not create the rules, we identify what applies to you and where it is written, guiding you on determining how best your firm adheres to the requirement, according to your business nature, complexity, size and stage of development. We believe our customers want to comply but just need some help in understanding how best to do so. At the same time, we understand that the focus of a firm is on its business, and good compliance is one that appropriately supports the business. To us, your soundness and safety is our primary goal, not the fees that we make.

Our target customers are the firms that have chosen to work with us. We thank you for your trust and we strive daily to support you once we have established a relationship. We do not choose our customers. No two customers are the same and the way that each firm demonstrates compliance with the MAS rules will not be cookie cutter, so every customer to us needs to be looked at with a fresh lens and mind, but with the same dedication.
