Get Operational After Acquisition
Acquiring a regulated licence is just the beginning. Once the acquisition completes and the FCA has approved the change of control, your business faces the immediate challenge of building a compliant, operational financial services business on the foundation of the acquired entity — often under significant time and commercial pressure.
Acumen Global Compliance provides comprehensive Post-Acquisition Setup services to help new owners of payment institutions, e-money institutions, and FCA-authorised firms establish their compliance infrastructure rapidly and correctly. Our service covers the development of your new AML/CTF policy suite, customer due diligence framework, staff training programme, compliance monitoring plan, regulatory reporting calendar, safeguarding or client money procedures, SMCR accountability mapping, and ongoing compliance support retainer. We work at pace alongside your management team to ensure your newly acquired business is trading compliantly from day one — protecting both your regulatory licence and your investment.
