A look at how KOLL takes firms from a regulatory question to an operating licence — and keeps them compliant once they're live.
Client work is confidential, so the engagements below are representative of the mandates we run across virtual assets, payments and tokenization. Details are anonymised; the approach and outcomes are real.
From perimeter analysis to an operational VARA licence — with transaction monitoring, reporting and cybersecurity in place from day one.
Structured the entity and safeguarding model, prepared the application, and stood up KYC and regulatory reporting to the licence conditions.
Classified the token across CMA, DFSA and VARA, then built the compliant route to issue and trade with the venue relationships to match.
Every engagement is judged on two things: the authority grants the licence, and the controls behind it survive supervision. We build for both from the first meeting, so approval is the start of a compliant operation — not a paper exercise.
