Investment manager platform Lawson Conner has launched FinTechPLUS, a comprehensive programme to help FinTech startups to launch their new businesses quickly, compliantly and cost-effectively.
The FinTechPLUS programme is designed for companies offering e-money, payments, consumer loans, crowdfunding and other financial technology related services currently revolutionising the banking and finance sectors.
The programme includes a number of innovative solutions, one of which is the FinTech Regulatory Incubator Platform ‘FinTIP’, which allows selected companies to become authorised in less than a month and at a fraction of the cost usually associated with a launch.
Startups can also benefit from ongoing compliance and regulatory support and access to capital raising services, critical for the future growth of any new startup.
Gerhard Grueter, managing director at Lawson Conner, said: “Fintech companies are revolutionising the financial services industry. Last year more than $14bn was invested in the sector. Fintech entrepreneurs’ ambitions have quickly turned from covering one or two local markets to a ‘let’s go global approach.
“The financial services industry is tightly regulated and navigating through this increasingly complex regulatory framework is a huge challenge, but a very critical component for the success of any fintech firm.”
Having launched close to 100 companies in the past 3 years, Lawson Conner has built a strong track record of helping startups to become both operational and compliant.
