The questions that come up on first calls about marketplace mandates. For anything not covered here, write to Rodolfo directly.
Every mandate listed here has been instructed by a UK FCA-authorised firm. We verify authorisation, banking, and operating history before publication. We also confirm vendor consent to introduce qualified acquirers under NDA.
Asking prices reflect the substance of the firm, not the licence alone. Inputs include flows and margin, the quality and number of banking relationships, safeguarding arrangements, corridor exclusivity, regulatory file cleanliness, and the vendor's commitment to a sensible transition.
Prices shown are indicative. Final terms are a function of due diligence and qualified interest.
Yes, but each banking and processor relationship requires its own change-of-control approval in parallel with the FCA notification. We sequence the consents so that they arrive together at completion. Where a processor is critical to the corridor, we make that consent a condition precedent.
The FCA assesses the acquirer against statutory criteria: reputation, financial soundness, compliance with UK regulation, influence over the firm, and the suitability of the ongoing business plan. In practice that means detailed information on beneficial ownership, source of funds, key individuals, and the operating model post-acquisition.
The review window is statutorily sixty working days, extendable once. Clean applications clear; underprepared ones stall.
Week one, introduction under NDA and memorandum review. Weeks two to four, first management meeting and price alignment. Weeks four to eight, confirmatory due diligence and share purchase agreement. Weeks eight to sixteen, FCA change-of-control notification, bank and processor consents, completion and settlement.
No vendor is disclosed before mutual qualification. Acquirers are vetted for source of funds, regulatory standing, and genuine intent before the long-form memorandum is shared. Discretion is the condition on which vendors instruct us in the first place.
That is negotiated. Most vendors prefer a clean exit with a handover of three to six months. Some stay on as consultants to the acquirer for continuity with regulators and banks. Key employees are typically retained on revised terms.
Every long-form memorandum is released after mutual qualification and NDA. The first call is thirty minutes and covers structure, motivation, and timeline.
