The Most Common Blindspot Companies Fail to Observe When Applying for a Brokerage Licence

Applying for a Brokerage Licence can seem to be one of the easiest items to cross off a checklist, however as a first-time applicant, you might not be aware of the potential pitfalls. Price comparisons are usually the first consideration, but when one is applying for a reputable licence such as the FCA UK licence, the authorities’ due diligence cannot be underestimated. For any rejections, it would take twice the amount of effort to get approval on the next try. This is something that most first-time applicants are not aware of. 


 Timeline for Brokerage Licence Approvals

At Desfran, we have more than a decade of experience helping clients obtain brokerage licences across the jurisdictions that our partners and us operate in. Brokerage licences vary across jurisdictions – for example, to obtain a licence as reputable as the FCA UK licence mentioned above, Desfran has consistently helped our clients achieve approval within 6 months, depending on clients’ background and submitted compliance. For licences similar to the NFA licence, Desfran could deliver the licence within 3 days.
