Step-by-step playbooks for regulated builders
Hands-on walkthroughs of the regimes, applications, and processes our clients ask about most. Pick the one that maps to what you're building — or send it straight to the team that needs it.
Choosing Where to Incorporate
“Where should we incorporate?” rarely has a single right answer — a framework for making the call deliberately, not by default.
Marketing Compliance
Where AI, fintech, and crypto messaging crosses regulatory lines — and how to set up your team so it doesn’t.
EU AI Act Readiness
The walkthrough most teams skip — classifying your systems before the 2026 obligations bite. ~12 min for AI builders & deployers.
Data Protection & GDPR for AI
Your lawful basis for using personal data in training and inference, and how you handle automated decisions — where most AI products are exposed.
AI Governance & Documentation
The risk-management framework, human-oversight policy, transparency notices, and model documentation customers and regulators will actually accept.
MiCA / CASP Authorisation
Token classification drives everything — so that’s where this guide starts. ~12 min for crypto & digital-asset firms.
AML / KYC & Financial-Crime Programs
The financial-crime controls regulators check first — and the ones that, done late or thinly, slow or sink a licence application.
Payments & E-Money Licensing
How to tell whether you need a licence, which one, and in which jurisdiction. ~11 min for payments & fintech teams.
