Comparison of Jurisdictions, Licenses, Capital Requirements and Timelines

Jurisdiction	Company type	Licences	Description	Timeline	Minimum capital	Key requirements
Czech Republic	Czech legal entity (typically an s.r.o. / a.s.) acting as a CASP applicant under MiCA or certain already regulated entities (with MiCA notification route for some services).	MiCA (CASP authorisation)	Case-by-case. In the EU, crypto exchange transactions (fiat ↔ bitcoin) are generally treated as VAT-exempt under the Hedqvist ruling of the Court of the EU, but not every crypto service is automatically exempt, so the service mix must be reviewed.	Company formation: Czech commercial register entry has a general court deadline of 5 working days. Licence: MiCA statutory process is staged (receipt, completeness, assessment), with 25 working days for completeness and 40 working days for assessment once complete (plus info requests). CNB is actively processing applications and has already issued first MiCA authorisations in Feb 2026.	EUR 50,000 / 125,000 / 150,000 depending on CASP service category. The service category depends on the exact services provided.	You need an EU legal-entity setup, registered office and effective head office in the EU, and at least one EU-resident director/manager. Also prepare a complete application package (ownership, governance, AML/compliance, business model) to avoid delays at completeness check.
Czech Republic	Czech legal entity acting as a Section 15 manager (often used for a sub-threshold AIF / “mini-fund” style setup).	Alternative Investment Fund	Management of special investment funds is generally an EU VAT exemption category (Article 135(1)(g) of the VAT Directive), but supporting/administrative services may still be taxable.	Company formation: commercial register generally 5 working days. CNB list entry: the AMCIF provides a 5 working day deadline for entry in the relevant list after a proper application (applies to the CNB list route used for this regime).	No fixed minimum for the Art. 15 sub-threshold registration route itself; the key gate is staying within the AUM thresholds.	Sub-threshold regime: this route is only available if AUM stays within the statutory limits (EUR 100m leveraged / EUR 500m unleveraged closed-ended, with conditions). The client must bring a clear investment strategy, governance setup, and documentation for CNB list registration and ongoing reporting.
Canada	Canadian corporation or foreign MSB with Canadian nexus	MSB registration (FINTRAC) (note: FINTRAC registration is not a “licence”)	Under CRA rules, financial services are generally GST/HST-exempt, but many services supplied by financial institutions can still be taxable, so scope mapping is required.	Company formation (federal):online incorporation is typically 1 business day. MSB: must be registered with FINTRAC before operating; FINTRAC processes requests in order received, but does not publish a fixed service standard for new MSB approvals on the registry page.	No minimum capital stated for FINTRAC MSB registration (registration-based regime, not prudential licensing).	AML registration regime, not a prudential licence. The client must be ready for FINTRAC registration before launch, and if acting as a foreign MSB, must appoint a representative resident in Canada to receive notices. A complete AML/compliance package is essential.
Poland	Polish legal entity (commonly sp. z o.o.) used as CASP applicant or certain already regulated entities (with MiCA notification route for some services).	MiCA CASP authorisation (EU MiCA regime)	Case-by-case. In the EU, crypto exchange transactions (fiat ↔ bitcoin) are generally treated as VAT-exempt under the Hedqvist ruling of the Court of the EU, but not every crypto service is automatically exempt, so the service mix must be reviewed.	Company formation: KRS filing is examined within 7 days, or 1 day via S24 template registration. Licence: MiCA statutory clock applies (25 working days completeness + 40 working days assessment once complete, subject to requests for information).	EUR 50,000 / 125,000 / 150,000 depending on CASP service category. The service category depends on the exact services provided.	You need an EU legal-entity setup, registered office and effective head office in the EU, and at least one EU-resident director/manager. Also prepare a complete application package (ownership, governance, AML/compliance, business model) to avoid delays at completeness check.
Poland	ASI + ZASI structure (internal or external manager); licensed ZASI applicant is a capital company	AIF / ASI route: either registered ZASI (sub-threshold, no licence) or licensed ZASI (full KNF permit)	Management of special investment funds is generally an EU VAT exemption category (Article 135(1)(g) of the VAT Directive), but supporting/administrative services may still be taxable.	Company formation: KRS filing is examined within 7 days, or 1 day via S24 template registration. KNF: for the licensed route, KNF indicates a 3-month decision timeline from receipt of the application or its supplementation; the registered route is lighter but timing still depends heavily on completeness of the filing.	Licensed ZASI: EUR 125,000 (external manager) or EUR 300,000 (internal manager), in PLN equivalent. Registered/sub-threshold route: lighter entry regime (threshold-based).	The key caveat is choosing the right route (registered vs licensed) based on AUM and model. For the licensed route, KNF expects a substantial file: company documents, management qualifications and criminal record extracts, shareholder/funding-source information, business plan, operational/IT setup, and AIF/ASI documentation.
Germany	German legal entity (typically GmbH) or certain already regulated entities (with MiCA notification route for some services).	MiCA CASP authorisation	Case-by-case. In the EU, crypto exchange transactions (fiat ↔ bitcoin) are generally treated as VAT-exempt under the Hedqvist ruling of the Court of the EU, but not every crypto service is automatically exempt, so the service mix must be reviewed.	Company: GmbH incorporation typically a few weeks including notary and register. Licence: authorities indicate review may take up to ~4 months once the file is complete, often longer if information requests are issued.	EUR 50,000 / 125,000 / 150,000 depending on CASP service category. The service category depends on the exact services provided.	Requires German or EU establishment, qualified management vetted by BaFin, robust AML/KYC framework, business plan, and proof of capital. Real local substance is expected; purely remote setups face scrutiny.
France	French legal entity (SAS/SA commonly) acting as AIFM or sub-threshold manager.	Alternative Investment Fund (AIFM or registered regime)	Management of special investment funds is generally an EU VAT exemption category (Article 135(1)(g) of the VAT Directive), but supporting/administrative services may still be taxable	Company: typically a few days to a few weeks depending on the filing route. AMF: full authorisation procedures commonly several months; sub-threshold registration faster but still file-dependent.	AIFM: typically EUR 125k (external) or EUR 300k (internally managed AIF) under AIFMD framework.	Must demonstrate professional management, risk management framework, depositary arrangements where required, and full AMF-ready documentation. Management must meet fit-and-proper standards and maintain EU substance.

Roadmap: from documents to completed acquisition

COREDO offers ready-made companies with existing financial licences, including VASP/crypto, SPI (Small Payment Institution), MSB, and alternative investment funds. The goal is to help you enter the market faster by acquiring an already licensed entity instead of starting the licensing process from scratch.

The process typically combines two tracks: a due diligence review of the target company and, where required, regulatory approval for a change of ownership and management. COREDO guides you through the full acquisition and approval process, including preparation and submission of the required documentation.

Contact COREDO and describe your needs

Start by contacting COREDO to discuss your business requirements.

Shortlist suitable options from the current inventory

COREDO presents suitable options from its current inventory and provides detailed information on each company.

Access sensitive details (NDA if required)

Where applicable, certain information (for example, a company name or financial information) is disclosed after signing an NDA.

Review the due diligence documentation package

COREDO provides a comprehensive due diligence package, including corporate records, license documentation, compliance history, and any regulatory correspondence, so you can make an informed decision.

Confirm what is included in the purchase

The purchase typically includes the legal entity with complete corporate documentation, the existing license or pending license application, compliance documentation, and corporate history records. The exact scope varies by company and is described in each offer.

Regulator review and expected timelines

For companies with existing licenses, the timeline depends on regulatory approval for a change of ownership. It typically ranges from 1–3 months for simpler licenses to 6+ months for more complex authorizations requiring full regulator review.

Prepare and submit the regulator approval file (change of ownership/management)

Most financial licenses require the relevant regulator to approve new shareholders and directors before the transfer is complete. COREDO manages the approval process, including preparation and submission of the required documentation.

Transfer completion and outcome

Once regulatory approvals are obtained (where required), the transfer is completed. Acquiring an existing licensed company can significantly reduce time-to-market compared to applying for a new license and may provide an established compliance framework and operational history.

Why work with COREDO when buying a ready-made company

Buying a ready-made licensed company is not only about purchasing a legal entity. It is a faster and more structured way to enter a regulated market with documentation, licensing history, and a clearer path to launch already in place. The acquisition process also includes guidance through due diligence and regulator approval, which is often the most sensitive part of the transaction.

Faster market entry

A ready-made licensed company can significantly reduce time-to-market because the licensing process has already been completed (or is already in progress, depending on the offer). This helps avoid the full setup and licensing timeline required for a new entity.

Access to licensed companies in multiple categories

The available inventory includes ready-made companies with existing financial licenses, including VASP/crypto, SPI (Small Payment Institution), MSB, and alternative investment fund structures. This makes it easier to choose an entry route that matches your business model.

Multi-jurisdiction options

The inventory includes licensed entities in the Czech Republic, Poland, Canada, and other jurisdictions, which gives flexibility when selecting the most suitable jurisdiction for your launch strategy.

More than a company shell

The purchase typically includes the legal entity, complete corporate documentation, the existing license or a pending license application, compliance documentation, and corporate history records. In other words, the transaction is usually structured as an operationally useful package rather than a simple share transfer.

Full due diligence package before commitment

Before moving forward, a comprehensive due diligence package is available for each company, including corporate records, license documentation, compliance history, and regulatory correspondence. This allows for an informed decision before the acquisition proceeds.

Support with regulatory approval for ownership and management changes

For most financial licenses, the relevant regulator must approve new shareholders and directors before the transfer can be completed. The approval process includes preparation and submission of the required documentation, which is a critical part of the overall transaction.

Clear acquisition process and realistic timelines

The process starts with a discussion of your business requirements, followed by a shortlist of suitable options and detailed information on each company. For licensed entities, timelines generally depend on regulator approval for the change of ownership and typically range from 1-3 months for simpler licenses to 6+ months for more complex authorizations requiring full review.

Existing compliance framework and operating history

An existing licensed company may already have an established compliance framework and operational history. This can be especially valuable for businesses that want a more structured launch and a stronger starting point from day one.

Better fit assessment before you choose a route

A ready-made company is not the right solution for every business. The selection process is based on your business requirements, which helps ensure the chosen option fits your goals, jurisdiction preferences, and regulatory strategy.

COREDO’s Company Acquisition Cases

Case 01Launching an investment structure through a Czech Alternative Investment Fund

Acquisition of a ready-made Czech Alternative Investment Fund structure, enabling structured collective investment with immediate regulatory alignment and scalable AUM capacity.

Task: A client wanted to launch an investment vehicle in the Czech Republic with a structure suitable for collective investment and a clear legal framework from day one. The key challenge was to enter the market with the right setup for investor categories, reporting obligations, and AML/CFT requirements, while avoiding unnecessary delays during the initial structuring phase.

Execution: A Czech Alternative Investment Fund structure was chosen as the most suitable option. The work focused on selecting the right vehicle, reviewing the available documentation, and organizing the acquisition process around the requirements that apply to this type of fund, including the investment strategy, internal AML/CFT policy, and regulatory reporting framework.

Outcome: The client obtained a ready-made Czech AIF structure designed for collective investment, with a framework aligned to the key operating thresholds for this category: management of up to 20 non-qualified investors and an unlimited number of qualified investors, and assets under management up to EUR 500,000,000 (or EUR 100,000,000 if leverage is used). The structure also supports ongoing compliance through periodic reporting to the Czech National Bank.
