Enough repetition that the awkward cases - a shareholder who cannot travel, a bank that wants one more document - are familiar rather than novel.

We build the boring part going international.
Companies, licences, bank accounts and second passports are paperwork problems dressed up as strategy problems. For 27 years we have done the paperwork - in 100+ jurisdictions, from 17 offices, with our own people rather than a network of intermediaries.

By the numbers
What 27 years actually added up to.
Numbers on an about-page are usually decoration. These are the four that change what we can do for you. The rest follow from them.
70+
banking relationships
The reason an account application goes to a bank that will actually open it, instead of being posted into a queue and hoped over.
17
own offices
In eight time zones. Somebody is awake when the regulator writes to you, and somebody can appear in person when a file needs a signature.
400+
licences obtained
Crypto, payments, forex, investment, gambling and funds. Every regulator on our pages is one we have filed with, not one we have read about.
What we do
Eight practices, one file.
Most clients arrive with one of these and leave with three. A licence needs a company, a company needs an account, and the founder eventually needs a second passport. We keep it under one team so the pieces fit.

How we work
Four rules we do not bend.
01
A written opinion before an invoice
Every engagement starts with a free written legal opinion: which jurisdiction, which licence scope, which route, and what could go wrong. You read it before you commit to anything. Two to five business days.
02
A fixed fee, agreed up front
Government fees are what the government charges. Ours are quoted once, in writing, for a defined scope. If the scope changes we tell you before the work, not on the invoice.
03
One team from first call to licence in hand
The lawyer who scoped your file is the lawyer who answers the regulator's questions about it. No handover to an account manager who has to be brought up to speed.
04
We say no in writing
If a jurisdiction will not work for your business, or a programme is dying, or your source-of-funds file will not survive due diligence. You hear it from us before you spend money, not after.
What we don't do
The short list of things we turn down.
It is a shorter page than the services list, and a more useful one. Every item here is business we have declined.
- Guarantee an approval.
Licences and citizenships are granted by authorities at their discretion; anyone promising otherwise is selling you a story.
- Sell a licence that does not exist.
Several jurisdictions market 'forex licences' and 'crypto authorisations' that are registrations at best. Our pages say so by name.
- Build a structure we would not put our name on.
Nominee-only shells with no substance fail at the bank, then at the regulator, then at the tax authority.
- Take a file we expect to fail due diligence.
If the source of funds cannot be documented, the answer is no. Before the non-refundable government fee, not after.
Where we are
Seventeen offices, eight time zones.
Our own people, not agents. The city closest to you is usually not the one that runs your file. The one that knows your regulator is.
