Before you commit to a transaction, a partnership or a new platform relationship, GCA reviews the other side against the regulatory record — licence standing, sanctions, prior enforcement — so the decision is made with the facts in hand, not just what the counterparty states about itself.
This covers whether the counterparty's licences are what they claim, whether anything in its enforcement history would transfer risk to you, and whether the structure you are considering would itself need regulatory approval. You receive a clear statement of what we found and what it means for the decision in front of you.
Challenges
A target's public standing with a regulator does not always reflect open investigations, informal warnings or conditions attached quietly rather than published.
Regulatory issues that surface after a transaction has completed are far more expensive to fix than the same issues found during due diligence.
