Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The main task involved launching a web platform that connects models and fans for sharing adult content. The company assisted in registering the business, facilitating communication with Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs) and Payment Service Providers (PSPs), and developing essential site documents. Key deliverables included the successful incorporation of the company, establishing secure payment channels, and ensuring compliance through comprehensive legal documentation.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The project led to several measurable outcomes demonstrating significant progress and success. The company was successfully registered, ensuring a solid legal foundation for operations. We received polished and comprehensive website documents that meet industry standards. Additionally, the team identified and implemented the best solutions for EMI and PSP communication, tailored specifically for the adult content business. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Their project management was exceptional, characterized by timely delivery and proactive communication. All deliverables were provided within the agreed timelines, ensuring our project stayed on schedule. They were highly responsive to our needs, addressing concerns promptly and adapting to any changes or additional requirements efficiently. Their commitment to understanding and fulfilling our specific needs was evident throughout the entire process.

What was your primary form of communication with Icon.Partners?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed me most about this company was their readiness and ability to tackle new and complex challenges that likely (IMO) fell outside the scope of their previous legal work. This was particularly evident in their handling of the specific requirements for finding suitable EMI and PSP solutions for our type of business. Their innovative approach and willingness to navigate uncharted territory were truly remarkable.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Icon.Partners could have done differently?

I might be mistaken, but I had the impression that the task of finding and integrating EMI/PSP solutions for the adult business was new for the Icon.Partners team. During the initial planning, I was assured that they had experience in this area, which gave me absolute confidence in the outcome. However, as we worked on this task, it became clear that the team was taking longer to find a solution, suggesting they don't have an existing strategy from previous experience. 

This did not affect my overall impression or evaluation of their work, but in the future, I would prefer complete transparency in communication so I can better assess the chances and outcomes.
