In order to “be on the crest of a wave” it is necessary to understand the current regulations of different jurisdictions, trends and know the unspoken rules.
When planning a project, you can spend months or even years studying local laws, rules and international regulations. You can waste weeks or even months turning to specialists in each individual jurisdiction and comparing conditions and prices in different jurisdictions.
Or you can contact us, save a lot of time and get initial consultation regarding the license you are interested in in the context of different jurisdictions.

Licensing services and how to obtain the license

The time frame for obtaining a license
The biggest part of the timeframe is taken by the stage of preparation by the Client, collecting information and documents, fulfilling certain requirements. Regardless of license and jurisdiction, on average, this period is two months.
At the same time, as a rule, the process of registering a company and fulfilling local requirements is already in process, after which preparation of documents for licensing begins. Regardless of the license and jurisdiction, on average, this period is 1.5-2 months.
The timeframe for obtaining a license depends on the jurisdiction and license. Somewhere you can get a license for a month. Complex licenses can take up to one and a half to two years. On average, this period is 5-6 months.
Documents required to obtain a license
This list of documents is different and depends on the jurisdiction and licensing type, below is a list of documents that you most likely will need for obtaining absolutely any license, regardless of country.

We draw your attention to the fact that the main expense for you will be associated not with licensing and building the structure, but with the fulfillment of local requirements for the presence and contribution of the authorized capital.
