Methodology

Source-led regulatory content methodology

LicenseCompare summarizes official regulator material, adds practical decision context, and makes source links visible for independent checking.

Research process

Content starts with official regulator pages, public registers, forms, guidance, and current notices. We summarize the practical implications without copying regulator text and keep careful language around uncertainty.

Official-source monitoring

The planned Cloudflare Worker fetches active official sources weekly, normalizes public HTML where appropriate, computes a SHA-256 hash, and posts changes to the backend API. Dynamic registers are linked and monitored only at safe entry-page level unless an official data route is available.

Limitations

Licensing requirements change, regulator pages move, and business facts matter. LicenseCompare does not provide legal advice or determine whether a particular firm is required to be licensed.

Corrections

Correction requests can be sent through the contact page. Please include the page URL, the official source that should be checked, and the specific issue.
