Financial license in Greece - COREDO

OBTAINING A FINANCIAL LICENSE IN GREECE

LICENSING IN GREECE

Greece features a wide range of business opportunities and less stringent control among the European Union member states. In addition, even non-residents can open a company here. Yet, the precondition is that the owner has a business plan, and the funds are received legally.

Businessmen planning to engage in financial activities must first contact the Hellenic Capital Market Commission or the Bank of Greece to obtain a license.

LICENSE CONDITIONS

It is necessary to prove the efficiency of the business model and the reliability of the applicants to obtain a financial license, which requires :

  • start-up capital in the amount established by law (the amount of capital depends on the type of financial license);
  • own or rented office space;
  • availability of local management staff (management structure depends on the type of financial license);
  • appropriate education and documented professional experience of the management and shareholders.

The applicant must submit to the regulatory body:

  • a business plan;
  • documents identifying shareholders;
  • description of the management and control mechanisms;
  • procedures ensuring the security of customer data and combating money laundering;
  • receipt of payment of state duty;
  • additional documents (if necessary).

Should you desire to operate in other European countries, it will be required to undergo additional passportization.
