Risks of obtaining a ready-made company with a crypto-licence
Under certain circumstances, the licence is issued for a specific project with a particular owner/director/KYC/AML officer. The identities, risk assessments and KYC/AML documents are carefully checked while obtaining the licence.
In that way, if a company with a crypto-licence changes an owner/director/KYC/AML officer, a regulator will study the project again. There is a risk that the permit will be revoked since it was issued for a different company with a specific activity.
The exact amount of time is usually spent on checking and verifying documents of new owners as it is spent on obtaining a new crypto-licence, which is about two months.
Cryptocurrency licence
The IT jurisdiction of Estonia is considered as the mildest of its kind with facilitated conditions for obtaining a cryptocurrency exchange licence for start-ups in the blockchain technology industry. In other words, a so-called crypto-licence is an official permission to conduct a regulated cryptocurrency business. Several new cryptocurrency and trading platforms are created every week, and a significant part of them had been licensed in Estonia, since the local order presupposes a quicker process of obtaining a crypto-licence than, for example, in the jurisdictions of other countries.
A team of experts from LKS Consult OÜ will accompany your project through all the necessary procedures in the preparation of documents and obtaining the legal permission from the authorities to launch your crypto-business. We also provide full support when registering Estonian companies.
