Questions
Is this legal advice?
No. Notes are a structured summary to help your compliance team decide. They give reasons and the source reference so your team can check them.
Are you connected to the DFSA?
No. We are an independent service. We write every summary in our own words and do not copy DFSA text. For official texts, go to the DFSA website.
What do you need from us?
A description of your licence category and the activities you are permitted to carry on, plus a contact person. We do not need client names or client data.
What if a note is wrong?
A person reviews each note, but mistakes are possible. Each note shows its reasoning and source so your team can check it before acting. Tell us and we correct it.
What happens after 30 days?
You decide whether to continue. If you do not, we stop and delete your firm profile on request. You can also stop at any time during the pilot by replying to any of our emails.
