Banking Licence Feasibility Business Plan
The business plan is the centrepiece of every banking licence application under Section 32 KWG. BaFin requires a viable business plan with 3-year projected balance sheets, P&L forecasts, regulatory capital needs analysis and robust stress scenarios. We prepare your business plan to convince regulators, investors and shareholders alike — with detailed financial modelling, realistic market assumptions and complete MaRisk-compliant documentation.
Banking License Capital Requirements Budgeting
A comprehensive capital requirements analysis determines the success or failure of your licence application under Section 32 KWG. We calculate the CRR minimum capital of EUR 5 million, account for start-up losses over 24-36 months, plan operational buffers for IT infrastructure, compliance and personnel — and develop robust stress scenarios that withstand BaFin scrutiny.
