Lending License Compliance for Fintech Startups

Brico helps consumer and commercial lending startups apply for and maintain state licenses—5x faster and without relying on expensive licensing vendors or law firms. We support credit, servicing, collections, brokering and earned wage access licenses across all 50 states with automated workflows and expert-backed compliance tools.

Why State Lending License Compliance Slows Startups Down

Each state has its own rules for credit, servicing, collections, brokering and earned wage access licenses—making multi-state expansion confusing and time-consuming for early-stage lending teams. Without dedicated legal resources, startups burn capital, miss deadlines, and risk delays that impact product launches and investor momentum.

No Two States Require the Same Thing

Each state has its own forms, fees, timelines, and qualification standards. Without a centralized source of truth, founders spend months trying to decode what’s needed.

Legacy Services Firms Are Expensive

Traditional legal and licensing services firms are slow and can cost millions of dollars. Firms bill hourly, live out of spreadsheets and inboxes, and can delay your go-to-market.

Missteps Can Result in Regulatory Bottlenecks

Without automation, it’s easy to make mistakes—causing inquiries that delay launch and threaten your reputation.
