Antigua and Barbuda Forex License

Due to the fact that the Financial Services Authority of St. Vincent and the Grenadines tightens its rules gradually, Antigua became, as of January 6, 2023, one of the most hassle-free jurisdictions for a company looking to enter the forex market in the shortest terms possible. Our law firm considers Antigua as an ideal alternative that will be able to provide comfortable conditions, minor expenses, and simplification of the setup procedure without onerous limitations.

Moreover, there are no obligatory licensing requirements for those organizations operating their business outside of Antigua, which simplifies the moment of registration very much. We can provide services for obtaining a Forex license in Antigua and Barbuda by following quite simple steps: securing a local legal office in the country, appointing a director, and paying the requisite fees for the license. In addition, our company will make sure that all compliance procedures will be hassle-free, so the business can operate legally in this country without being obliged to establish a real presence. The process of licensing is also facilitated by the fact that English is the official language.
