Professional Fees & Engagement

Every ODP licence application is different. The scope of work, regulatory requirements and supporting documentation will vary depending on the applicant's business model, ownership structure and proposed activities.

For this reason, ODP Gateway does not offer fixed-fee packages. Instead, we provide a tailored proposal based on the specific requirements of each client.

Our Approach

We believe that every client deserves advice that is tailored to their business rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

Our engagement begins with a confidential consultation, during which we assess your proposed business, licensing objectives and the level of assistance required.

Following this assessment, we prepare a professional fee proposal outlining the recommended scope of work and services.

Professional Fees

Professional fees are determined by several factors, including:

✓ Complexity of the proposed business model
✓ Corporate structure and ownership
✓ Scope of regulatory documentation required
✓ Governance and compliance requirements
✓ Number of specialist services involved
✓ Level of ongoing advisory support

Every proposal is prepared individually to ensure clients receive the appropriate level of professional assistance.

What Our Engagement May Include

Depending on your requirements, our services may include:

✓ Initial consultation and licensing strategy
✓ Business model assessment
✓ Project planning and coordination
✓ Governance framework guidance
✓ Risk management framework support
✓ Compliance documentation coordination
✓ Preparation of supporting documentation
✓ Regulatory submission assistance
✓ Ongoing communication throughout the application process

The exact scope of services will be agreed before work commences.

A Collaborative Process

Successful ODP applications require input from experienced professionals across a number of disciplines.

ODP Gateway works alongside specialist partners with extensive experience in financial regulation, governance, compliance and licensing to provide a coordinated, professional service from initial consultation through to application submission.

Transparency

We believe that professional relationships are built on trust and transparency.

Before any engagement begins, clients receive a clear proposal outlining:

✓ Scope of services
✓ Deliverables
✓ Professional fees
✓ Estimated project timeline
✓ Terms of engagement

This ensures there is a clear understanding of the work to be performed before the project commences.

Confidentiality

Many of our clients are establishing new financial businesses or entering the South African market.

All discussions are treated as confidential, and information shared during the consultation and engagement process is handled professionally and with appropriate discretion.
