Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about selecting the right corporate structure or license for your brokerage? Speak with our legal specialists.
Book a Free Consultation01Which company setup path is best for a new Forex brokerage?
If you need to launch as fast as possible with minimal capital outlay, an offshore company setup (e.g. St. Vincent or Marshall Islands) is ideal. If your business strategy prioritizes brand trust, tier-1 banking relationships, and institutional growth, a regulated structure or Mauritius FSC license is recommended.
02How long does company registration take?
Offshore company incorporation typically takes 3 to 7 business days. Regulated broker setup (e.g., VFSC or Labuan) takes 4 to 8 weeks, while premium Mauritius FSC licensing takes 8 to 12 weeks depending on corporate background checks.
03Do I need physical local office space or local directors?
Requirements depend on the jurisdiction. Offshore setups do not require local offices or local directors. Regulated jurisdictions like Mauritius require fit-and-proper local resident directors and a physical substance office, which FX Launch Pad manages for you.
04Can I open a corporate bank account with an offshore entity?
Yes. While traditional tier-1 commercial banks prefer regulated licenses, offshore entities can readily open corporate accounts with specialized Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs), international payment gateways, and crypto settlement rails.
05What ongoing compliance maintenance is required after incorporation?
Annual requirements include registered agent fee renewals, government registry filings, and, for regulated entities, periodic AML/KYC audit submissions and financial statement audits.
