How do I know which licenses my business needs?

Your licensing obligations follow the activities you perform and the states you serve. The finder maps activities like originating mortgages, transmitting money, or collecting debts to the license types that apply, then shows indicative fees and timelines per state.

What license types does the finder cover?

Mortgage (lender, broker, servicer), money transmitter (including virtual currency), and debt collection (agency and debt buyer) licensing.

What happens after the finder?

You can hand your results straight into our quote flow. We confirm the exact per-state requirements and file your applications, tracking bond, net-worth, and renewal obligations as you go.
