What SolutionsHub does

SolutionsHub is a privately held regulatory and licensing consultancy headquartered in Douglas, Isle of Man, with a secondary office in Dublin, Ireland. Founded on 23 June 2016 by Lee Hills as a one-person operation on the day of the Brexit referendum, the firm provides end-to-end licensing, compliance, and regulatory advisory services to eGaming operators, fintech businesses, and gaming suppliers. It holds category-defining expertise in cryptocurrency and blockchain gambling licensing, having supported the world's first blockchain gambling licence, and has assisted with more than 120 regulatory approvals across its ten-year history. The company has been recognized with over 55 industry awards, including three EGR B2B Awards, and is positioned as the largest regulatory and licensing consultancy on the Isle of Man.

The firm's service portfolio spans ten discrete offerings: Licensing & Structuring, Regulatory Governance, MLRO/AMLCO/Compliance Officer Support, Responsible Gambling & Player Protection, Banking/Payments & Operational Readiness, Data Protection & Privacy Governance, Mock Audits & Regulatory Readiness, Training & Board Briefings, Remediation & Skilled Support, and Non-Intrusive VIP Assurance. Delivery is handled by a small team (1–10 employees) of former regulators, government officials, and compliance specialists, including COO Nick Wright (former Gambling Inspector). The company does not develop proprietary technology products; its competitive differentiation rests on human regulatory expertise, jurisdictional relationships, and a track record of approvals rather than on software or automation.

The business model is professional services-based, with revenue generated through fixed-fee licensing packages and quote-based consulting engagements, typically structured as multi-year contracts. Go-to-market is relationship-driven and consultative, supported by thought-leadership content (expert insights blog), industry event participation (ICE Barcelona, SiGMA World, EGR B2B Awards), LinkedIn presence, and a low-friction Calendly booking flow. Customer segments are primarily iGaming operators (primary), with secondary exposure to fintech businesses and gaming/B2B suppliers, served across the Isle of Man and Irish jurisdictions with stated plans for further international office openings.
