A regulated business proposal needs both an intelligible entity structure and an appropriate authorisation route. Prepare ownership, controller, key-person and governance evidence for specialist assessment of the activity. A formed company or sandbox enquiry should never be treated as proof that financial, crypto or property operations are authorised.
Confirm whether the proposed company can conduct the activity
Entity formation and financial authorisation are separate matters. Payments, investment, fund-related and crypto models need CBB perimeter analysis before the corporate structure is treated as suitable.
Prepare controller and governance evidence carefully
Regulatory review may require detailed information about ownership, key people, systems and controls. Sandbox participation is a distinct pathway and should not be represented as general permission to trade.
Keep sector permissions attached to the entity
RERA-related activities likewise need a dedicated review. Any regulatory coordination is limited to enquiry preparation and specialist liaison; no claim is made to hold or confer financial or property-sector authorisation.
Specific enquiries within this scope
Choose the task that matches your situation. Availability, responsible providers and any required professional permissions must be established in the written scope.
Scope to agree in writing

Prepare for the enquiry
- Exact proposed regulated activities linked to the proposed entity

- Available policy and capital evidence with document inconsistencies flagged
Before you take the next step
Does forming a company establish a financial-services permission?
No. Describe the proposed payments, investment, fund or crypto functions for CBB perimeter analysis. The company’s existence and its authorisation to perform regulated work are separate matters.
Why are controller records important for regulatory preparation?
A specialist may need an intelligible ownership and control picture, supported by genuine records. Identify key people, authority and missing information before treating the entity as application-ready.
How should property-sector permissions be recorded?
Link the actual activity and any RERA-related review to the company’s evidence file. Retain the relevant conditions and distinguish a preparation brief from issued authorisation.
Continue your planning
Business licences and activities
Connect each proposed revenue activity to the entity’s permissions and supporting documents. Keep sector approvals, trade-name questions and premises evidence aligned with a clearly recorded operating scope.
02Corporate governance and secretarial planning
Map shareholder, manager and board decisions to the constitutional record. Review activity-specific controls and corporate registers, with qualified specialist involvement for trusts, foundations and family-office arrangements.
03Business plans and funding readiness
Distinguish equity, debt and trading cash in the proposed company. Align funding records, financial assumptions and investor rights with the ownership design and the professional review needed before commitments.
