Build vs Buy
In the rapidly changing world of Software as a Service (SaaS), speed to market and resource allocation are of paramount importance. The process of building an in-house investor accreditation system can be lengthy, costly, and fraught with regulatory risk.
Ultimately, the most important thing is time to market. If you choose to develop the system in-house, the development time can range from 6 to 12 months before a viable product is ready for deployment—and that doesn't account for ongoing maintenance, security updates, or regulatory changes.
Fassport's white-labeled platform is ready to go right out of the box. It can be set up in under a day for you to start using. API Integration of Fassport can be completed in a matter of weeks, significantly accelerating your go-to-market timeline.
In conclusion, the decision to build or buy an in-house investor accreditation system involves a thorough consideration of potential costs, time, and risks, particularly in relation to regulatory compliance. For most fund managers, buying a proven platform like Fassport delivers faster ROI and lower total cost of ownership.
