Talk to Myky
### Company Registration
End-to-end company incorporation in your chosen jurisdiction: regulator filing, founding documents (memorandum and articles of association, shareholder agreements, director resolutions), share structure design, ultimate beneficial owner disclosure, registered agent, registered office, corporate seal. We handle the regulator interaction directly so the process does not stall on form-rejection cycles.
The package includes the full corporate document set (M&A, certificates, registers), director and shareholder onboarding with a complete KYC pack, tax registration and EIN or VAT or GST as applicable, plus a year-one corporate calendar covering annual returns, AGM scheduling, and fee renewals. Crypto-native by default — we know which director profile is accepted in which jurisdiction, which UBO structures pre-empt banking rejection, and which clauses regulators flag in 2026.
### Jurisdiction Selection
Picking the wrong jurisdiction costs months of regulatory friction, extra licensing burden, banking rejections, and reputational drag. The right pick depends on product type (token issuance, fintech, SaaS), target markets, regulatory posture, banking access, founder profile, and tax structure — not on which jurisdiction is cheapest to incorporate.
Our short-list spans the British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands for Web3-native founder structures and token issuance vehicles, Singapore for Asia-Pacific fintech and licensed exchange operations, the United Arab Emirates (ADGM, DIFC, or VARA-regulated mainland) for Middle East presence and crypto-friendly banking, Estonia for digital-first European presence with low overhead, Switzerland (Zug crypto valley) for institutional-grade DeFi protocols, and Panama, the Marshall Islands, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines for specific operational profiles. You receive a side-by-side comparison memo against your product, a banking-landscape forecast per finalist, and a single recommendation with concrete reasoning.
### Compliance Integration
Crypto compliance setup covering KYC tiering (T0 email through T3 source-of-funds), blockchain analytics integration with Chainalysis, Elliptic, or TRM Labs (vendor selection driven by jurisdiction and exchange-counterparty preference), FATF Travel Rule wiring above the thousand-dollar threshold via Sumsub or VerifyVASP, sanctions screening against OFAC, EU, and UN consolidated lists with both real-time and periodic re-screening, and transaction monitoring playbooks tuned to your product with alert workflow and escalation matrix.
The operational layer covers Compliance Officer onboarding (we know who is hireable in which jurisdiction), MLRO appointment as required, internal training programmes, and an audit-ready policy stack of five to fifteen documents depending on regime. Year-one compliance calendar with quarterly reviews ships as part of the engagement.
### VASP, MiCA, MSB, FCA, MAS, VARA Licensing
Application packages for Virtual Asset Service Provider licences across multiple jurisdictions, the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regime mandatory across all twenty-seven member states, Money Services Business registration in the United States and Canada (with state-by-state where applicable), Financial Conduct Authority cryptoasset registration in the United Kingdom, Monetary Authority of Singapore Payment Services Act and DPT licence, and Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority categorisation in Dubai.
Delivery includes business plan tailored to the regulator's template, full compliance documentation set, source-of-funds explanations, founder background packs, regulator interaction (we are known to the case officers in jurisdictions we file in), and post-grant operating cadence setup — mandatory reports, annual review, breach notification SOP. The engagement extends to re-filing support if your scope expands later (additional asset classes, new jurisdictions).
### Legal Opinions
Token classification opinions under the Howey Test for the United States and under MiCA Article 3 for the European Union (utility, asset-referenced, e-money, or other), securities-law analysis per relevant jurisdiction, risk disclosure memos for investor decks and SAFT or SAFE-with-Token-Warrant packages, and regulatory-posture memos for institutional counterparties — exchanges, banks, custodians, insurers.
Exchange listings in 2026 increasingly require an independent legal opinion confirming the token is not a security in the listing jurisdiction. Investors require risk disclosures to satisfy their own KYC. Banks require regulatory clarity to open accounts. Without these documents, the business stalls regardless of how good the product is. You receive a written opinion on letterhead signed by qualified counsel, the underlying analysis memo (factual matrix, applied tests, conclusions), an investor-deck-ready one-page summary, and refresh on triggering events such as regulatory change or product pivot.
### Bank Account Opening
Crypto businesses get rejected by ninety percent of banks regardless of operational legitimacy — the moment "crypto" appears in the source-of-funds questionnaire, the application stalls. Founders waste three to six months pitching every bank in the European Economic Area before realising the right pre-shortlist is four to six banks total.
We maintain live relationships with crypto-friendly banking partners by jurisdiction and know what each bank's appetite looks like quarter to quarter. Engagements include pre-screening of your structure against each shortlisted bank, document pack preparation tuned per bank (different banks weight different documents differently), warm introduction to the relationship manager (cold KYC inboxes often die — a warm intro shaves weeks), operating and treasury accounts (segregation per institutional best practice), multi-currency where useful (USD, EUR, GBP, AED, SGD), payment-rail integration (SEPA, SWIFT, ACH, FedNow, FPS), and a backup banking partner so you are not single-banked.
### Document Preparation
Customer-facing documents: Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy aligned to GDPR and CCPA and the UAE Personal Data Protection Law, Cookie Policy, Risk Disclosures. Investor-facing documents: SAFT (Simple Agreement for Future Tokens), SAFE with Token Warrant, Token Purchase Agreement, side letters. Internal policies: KYC SOP, AML SOP, Travel Rule SOP, Conflict of Interest Policy, Data Retention Policy, Information Security Policy, Incident Response Plan, Business Continuity Plan.
Templates are starting points only — every document is tuned to your specific product, jurisdiction stack, and investor mix. We coordinate across the documents (the Privacy Policy must reference your real KYC flow, the Terms must reflect your real fee schedule and dispute resolution venue, the SAFT must align with your token release schedule). Deliverables ship as production-ready PDF and DOCX with editable source files, plus a one-cycle annual refresh cycle to track regulatory change.
