Company Formation : Frequently Asked Questions

We assist in establishing entities in a variety of popular global hubs, including:  Offshore: St. Vincent & The Grenadines (SVG), Seychelles, Vanuatu, and Mauritius.  Onshore/Mid-shore: Cyprus (CySEC), United Kingdom (FCA), and Labuan (Malaysia). We help you choose the location that best fits your budget, target market, and regulatory goals.

Yes. Many new brokers start by forming an offshore company (such as an LLC in St. Vincent) to operate as an unregulated entity while they build their client base. Prixim Global helps you set up the legal structure first, ensuring you have the foundation to apply for a full license when you are ready to scale.

The timeline varies by jurisdiction. Typically, an offshore company formation (like in SVG) can be completed within 5 to 7 business days. Regulated licenses in jurisdictions like Seychelles or Mauritius may take 3 to 6 months depending on the complexity and local authority requirements.

Yes. Company formation is only the first step. We assist brokers in navigating the challenges of opening corporate bank accounts and EMI (Electronic Money Institution) accounts specifically for forex-related businesses to ensure you can handle client deposits and withdrawals.

Capital requirements depend entirely on the jurisdiction. For offshore registrations, there is often no minimum paid-up capital required to start. However, for regulated licenses (e.g., VFSC Vanuatu or FSA Seychelles), you may need to prove capital ranging from $50,000 to $500,000.

As part of our formation services, we provide a Registered Office Address and, where required by local law, can assist in setting up a physical substance (local office and staff) to meet the "economic substance" requirements of specific regulators.What documents are required to start the process? require.

Generally, we require:  Clear passport copies of directors and shareholders.  Recent proof of address (utility bill or bank statement).  A brief business plan or description of services.  Professional references (depending on the jurisdiction).

Yes. When we draft your Memorandum and Articles of Association, we ensure the "Business Objects" are broad enough to cover Forex, Commodities, Indices, Cryptocurrencies, and even Prop Trading activities, giving you the flexibility to expand your services later.

Establishing the company is just the beginning. We provide ongoing support for annual renewals, registered agent services, and compliance filings to ensure your company remains in good standing with the local registrar and regulators.

General law firms may not understand the specific technological and liquidity needs of a broker. Prixim Global provides an integrated approach: we dont just form the company; we ensure the legal structure is perfectly compatible with your trading platform (MT4/MT5/PriximTrader), your CRM, and your payment gateways.
