Our Recommendations

Our Recommendations page has been created to share our professional view on which licence may be best suited to your business and long-term goals. We understand that every business is unique, with its own objectives, structures and target markets, and therefore requires licences for different purposes.

In some cases, you may not require a licence at all. Our role is to provide you with clear, tailored advice so you can make informed decisions that balance compliance, cost-efficiency and commercial opportunity.

Anjouan is cost-effective and the licence can be obtained within a short timeframe. Malta suits operators targeting EU markets, while the Isle of Man suits outward-facing operations. Where taxation efficiency is the priority, a Tobique or Kahnawake licence held alongside an Isle of Man entity is often the better structure.
