RegDesk for FSPs
RegDesk helps South African financial services businesses get FSP licensed with the FSCA and stay compliant afterwards — without needing to be a compliance expert.
How does RegDesk help a new business get FSP licensed?
RegDesk guides you through preparing an FSP licence application for the FSCA online process: it structures the entity, Key Individual and fit-and-proper information, prepares the compliance framework (RMCP, compliance manual and policies), and produces a complete, correctly ordered document set. A first-time-right application is the single biggest lever on both timeline and cost, because most delays come from FSCA queries on incomplete or inconsistent submissions.
How does RegDesk help an already-licensed FSP stay compliant?
After licensing, RegDesk runs your ongoing FAIS, FICA and POPIA obligations: it tracks the compliance calendar and deadlines, generates and versions your policies, maintains the required registers (complaints, conflicts, training/CPD, breaches), and keeps evidence audit-ready for FSCA inspection. Licensing is the start, not the finish, and RegDesk manages the 'stay compliant' part continuously.
What compliance documents can RegDesk generate?
RegDesk generates the core FSP compliance pack: the Risk Management and Compliance Programme (RMCP), compliance manual, Treating Customers Fairly (TCF) policy, conflict-of-interest policy, complaints management framework, business continuity plan, outsourcing policy, POPIA and PAIA policies, Key Individual and Compliance Officer appointment letters, the client disclosure notice, and the statutory registers. Each is auto-filled from your verified entity data and rendered as PDF and editable Word.
Do I need to be a compliance expert to use RegDesk?
No. RegDesk FSP is guided and task-oriented for non-experts. It tells you what is required, auto-fills what it can from your entity data, and clearly labels the few decisions your Compliance Officer or Key Individual must make. The output is always a first draft for a qualified person to review and approve.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, RegDesk offers a 14-day free trial so you can prepare documents and see the workflow before committing. See the pricing page for current plans.
