Changing Distributors or Acquiring a Product Line? Protect the License.
A product license tied to the wrong legal entity is a liability, not an asset.
When distributors change, companies merge, or product lines are acquired, Korean product licenses must be formally transferred to the new license holder. A license left in the name of a former distributor or acquired entity creates immediate compliance risk — and regulators do not overlook it during post-market surveillance or facility inspections.
Regulatory due diligence before the transaction. Clean transfer execution after it.
We identify regulatory risks before transactions close, execute transfers without gaps in market authorization, and hand over a clean compliance record to the new license holder.
RA Due Diligence
We conduct a full regulatory status assessment of the target license portfolio — verifying license validity, expiry dates, change history, and post-market compliance — and deliver a structured due diligence report before transaction close.
License Transfer Execution
We prepare and submit all MFDS documentation required to transfer the license to the new holder, manage authority correspondence throughout the review, and confirm completion of the transfer.
Post-Transfer Compliance Review
We review the transferred portfolio for outstanding obligations — renewal dates, undeclared changes, and post-market requirements — and deliver a compliance roadmap for the new license holder.
Your Complete Transfer & Due Diligence Package
A clean regulatory record handed to the new license holder, with no outstanding compliance gaps.
- RA due diligence report (license validity, expiry, change history)

The regulatory risk in a device acquisition is often invisible until after the deal closes. By then, it is your problem.
We identify and quantify regulatory risks before transactions complete, execute license transfers without gaps in market authorization, and hand over a clean compliance record — so the new license holder inherits an asset, not a liability.
