Moreover, as part of the pre-incorporation and pre-application process, we would need to ensure that all directors, managers, shareholders and beneficial owners of the applicant company pass the so called “fit and proper test” and this is one of the areas where our advice and support can be indispensable. Since the fitness and propriety are determined by regulatory bodies on the basis of collected documents and information rather than on conducting a physical test itself, we will advise you on how certain documents should be prepared and where obtained from, what information they should include etc. Needless to say, the documents obtained will be thoroughly checked by us for correctness and completeness before being sent to the license issuing authority.

Compiling Your Forex License Application File

No forex license application will be reviewed by a regulatory authority unless it is supported by a professional business plan, financial projections, company’s internal manual, operations policies and procedures. These should be drafted in strict compliance with regulatory requirements which are based on the underlying laws, rules and regulations. Unless you have deep and thorough knowledge and understanding of such laws and regulations, it is highly unlikely that the documentation will be properly drafted and withstand the scrutiny of your license issuing authority. This is another area where our guidance and expertise can be indispensable, as our advisory team has substantial experience in the preparation of statutory documents which are accepted by regulatory authorities in various jurisdictions.

Following Up Your License Application

We shall discuss these with you and provide a comprehensive balanced response to the regulator in order to avoid any delays in the application review and issuance of your license.

We will forward you a copy of your license the moment we have received it and explain what is reasonably required in order to maintain it.

After Your Forex License Is Issued…

Licensed entities need to meet certain standards and requirements in order to maintain their licenses. Some jurisdictions – EU member states in particular – have stricter governing and monitoring arrangements than others, however being licensed but not regulated sounds like an oxymoron, i.e. two incompatible things, and as such licensees would have to comply with on-going regulatory requirements in the course of their operations. This is where the term “compliance” stems from. Starting Business will be on hand to assist you with any additional Broker Services you may require.
