Legal viability report for your business model
Before you invest in building, it's worth knowing whether the law lets you build it, on what terms and at what cost. We give you a clear map to move forward with consistency and decide what to solve now and what can wait for phase 2.
What the legal viability report is
It's an analysis of whether your business model is viable from a legal and regulatory standpoint, before you launch or raise a round. But it doesn't stop at yes or no: it gives you early visibility into your project's legal costs and structure, so you can decide with judgement what to resolve now and what can wait.
The result isn't a generic report or a checklist: it's an analysis of your specific model, with the regulatory framework that applies to you, the risks you're taking on, and an ordered roadmap to move forward without surprises.
The verdict, at a glance
Your model fits the applicable regulatory framework as it currently stands.
It fits, but there are specific adjustments to make before or right after launch.
The current approach runs into the regulation; part of the model needs rethinking.
How it works
You request it
You tell us about your business model and what you need to launch.
We analyse your model
We review the regulatory framework, the risks and the sectors involved.
You receive the report
Within the fixed deadline from the proposal, with a clear conclusion and roadmap.
You decide with judgement
You know what to resolve now and what can wait for phase 2.
An early view that saves you money
Doing this analysis at the outset lets you order decisions by cost and impact: what's essential to launch, what's worth preparing in advance, and what can be postponed to a phase 2 without blocking your start. It's cheaper to know this now than to rebuild the structure later.
This connects naturally with your company formation, your tax position and your future investment rounds: what you decide today shapes tomorrow's cost.
Essential to launch
- Website or app legal texts and privacy policy
- Corporate structure and, if there are co-founders, a shareholders’ agreement
- The specific regulatory requirement for your sector, if any
Plannable for phase 2
- Expansion into other countries or markets
- Advanced product automations or features
- Voluntary certifications or seals
Does your model use artificial intelligence? The AI Act
If your product uses artificial intelligence, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the AI Act) classifies systems by risk tier: from prohibited practices, through high-risk systems, to general-purpose models and lighter transparency obligations. Each category triggers different obligations and costs.
The report tells you which category your system falls into and what that means before you build it, so you don't find out once it's already expensive to change. The Regulation's application is staggered, and we check the current regulatory status on every engagement.
Indicative scale under the AI Act (EU) 2024/1689, from the heaviest to the lightest regulatory obligations.

A closed document, with a clear conclusion from the cover page and the analysis sections ordered for a single read-through. The example is illustrative.
Who it's for
Founders about to launch a product or service, businesses in regulated or novel sectors, investors who want to validate a model before backing it, and anyone preparing a round who needs to show their model holds up under an investor's regulatory scrutiny.
Does your business model need a legal viability report?
Six questions, one minute. Tick whichever apply to your project.
Indicative test. It does not replace a legal analysis and does not guarantee your model is legal; it helps you see whether a report would be useful.
Price
From €650 + VAT
The final scope depends on complexity and sector (regulated sectors are quoted on a bespoke basis). We close price and timeline in a proposal before we start.
Honest disclaimer: a viability report reduces risk and gives you judgement to decide, but it isn't an absolute guarantee of legality: its conclusions depend on the information you give us, and regulation can change. When that happens, we tell you.
Frequently asked questions
What is a legal viability report?
It's an analysis of whether your business model is viable from a legal and regulatory standpoint, usually before you launch or raise a round. It doesn't stop at yes or no: it identifies the regulatory framework that applies to you, the regulatory risks and their severity, and gives you a roadmap and a cost map to launch in compliance, ordered by what's essential now and what can wait for a later phase.
What kind of businesses is it for?
Founders about to launch a product or service, businesses in regulated or novel sectors, investors who want to validate a model before backing it, and teams preparing a round who need to show their model holds up under an investor's regulatory scrutiny.
How much does it cost and what does it include?
From €650 + VAT. It includes an executive summary with a clear conclusion, the applicable regulatory framework, identification of regulatory risks, sector-specific critical points, a cost and phasing map, and recommendations with a roadmap. The final scope depends on complexity and sector: regulated sectors are quoted on a bespoke basis, and we close price and timeline in a proposal before we start.
How long does delivery take?
Within the fixed deadline we set in the proposal, based on the scope and complexity of your model. Not giving a generic timeline without knowing your case is part of doing this properly.
What if my product uses artificial intelligence?
We assess its fit under the AI Act (EU) 2024/1689, its indicative risk category and the obligations it triggers, so you can factor that in from the design stage rather than after it's already expensive to change.
Does the report guarantee my business is legal?
No, and be wary of anyone who promises guaranteed legality. The report reduces risk and gives you judgement to decide, but its conclusions depend on the information you give us, and regulation can change. When that happens, we tell you.
