# Who is Cornerstone Licensing for, and who is it not for? *Reviewed 2026-07-14* ## Short answer Cornerstone is for U.S. companies in regulated financial services licensing: lenders, mortgage companies, money services businesses, and accounts receivable management firms, plus fintechs entering those lanes. It is not for companies seeking legal advice, licensing outside the United States, or industries outside financial services. Those boundaries are deliberate. The fit is narrow on purpose. Working in one country and one industry means the same specialists see the same license types, statutes, and regulators every day, which is what makes the depth real: state agencies known personally, requirement changes caught as they happen, and filing patterns refined across thousands of submissions rather than spread across every industry. The boundaries are just as deliberate. Cornerstone is not a law firm; legal questions go to counsel, and we work alongside in-house and outside lawyers rather than competing with them. Companies with international licensing needs pair us with global counsel while we hold the U.S. lane. And businesses outside regulated financial services are usually better served by a generalist filing service. If the fit is right, it is very right; if it is not, we will say so. ## Related - [About Cornerstone](/about) - [How to refer clients to us](/refer) - [Talk with our team](/contact) --- ## How to cite this page Cite as: "Who is Cornerstone Licensing for, and who is it not for?."
