I have been leading COREDO since 2016 and see every day how quickly the digital assets market is changing. Over the years the COREDO team has carried out dozens of projects for company registration and licensing in the EU, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Cyprus, Estonia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Dubai. Clients come with a […]

Regulators are tightening requirements, customers expect instant payments, and the compliance team is overloaded with alerts. Over recent years, the COREDO team has implemented dozens of KYT (Know Your Transaction) projects for fintech companies in the EU, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Cyprus and Estonia, as well as in Singapore and Dubai. In […]

When I launched COREDO in 2016, entrepreneurs had an obvious request: to enter new markets quickly, safely and transparently. Over the past few years the puzzle has become more complex: requirements for company registration, licensing and AML compliance have tightened. Today it is impossible to build an international business without a well-designed compliance function, and […]

Since 2016 I have been building COREDO as a team that turns complex regulatory challenges into working operational models. During this time we have carried out dozens of projects in the EU, the United Kingdom, Singapore and Dubai, as well as in a number of offshore and mid‑shore jurisdictions in Africa and Asia. Today entrepreneurs […]

I regularly meet executives who are ready to scale work with digital assets, but are stuck on two things: the BaFin license and the architecture of secure key storage. Since 2016 the team COREDO has supported dozens of projects for company registration in the EU and Asia, obtaining financial licenses and building compliance functions. During […]

I have been building COREDO since 2016 and have set up dozens of structures in the EU, the UK, Singapore, Dubai and Central Europe through incorporation, licensing and tax planning. In recent years Portugal has become a notable hub of European crypto business. The COREDO team has implemented a number of projects to create crypto […]

I have been leading COREDO since 2016, and from the early years I saw how international business in fintech faces not “barriers” but labyrinths. Company registration, obtaining financial licenses, AML/sanctions compliance, building processes across different jurisdictions — these are not a set of disparate tasks but a single architecture of risk management. The COREDO team […]

I founded COREDO in 2016, and since then I have seen every day how entrepreneurs lose momentum because of regulatory uncertainty. This is especially noticeable in projects with virtual assets: licensing, AML, bank accounts, infrastructure — too many things are moving at once. In this article I have compiled the practices our team has tested […]

I founded COREDO in 2016, and since then our team has supported dozens of international projects: from company incorporations in the EU and Asia to obtaining crypto, payment and forex licenses. Over the years one topic consistently returns to the agenda of executives and CFOs: whether it is possible to work with clients from the […]

Since 2016 I have been leading COREDO through dozens of regulatory cycles and changes in the EU, the UK, Singapore and the UAE. The COREDO team has gone all the way from company formation and CASP/VASP licensing to building mature AML‑programs, reserve proofs and setting up operational resilience. In this article I have compiled the […]

Since 2016 I have been building COREDO as a company that removes regulatory uncertainty for entrepreneurs and financial directors. During this time the COREDO team has obtained licenses and set up operating models in the EU, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Cyprus, Estonia, Lithuania, Singapore and Dubai. In this article I have compiled […]

I have led COREDO since 2016 and every day I see the same thing: companies lack structured, pragmatic compliance that works as a business asset rather than a bureaucratic overlay. Over years of working in the EU, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Cyprus, Estonia, the United Kingdom, Singapore and Dubai, the COREDO team has delivered hundreds […]

Since 2016 I have been leading COREDO through a shifting regulatory landscape, helping entrepreneurs from Europe, Asia and the CIS launch and scale fintech businesses. Over that time regulators have learned to speak the language of technology, and technology — the language of regulators. I see how the fintech director has evolved from a visionary […]

Since 2016 the COREDO team has implemented dozens of projects for registering companies in the EU, Asia and CIS countries, obtaining financial licenses, setting up AML and launching operational processes for fintech. In this article I have compiled the experience that helps clients move from the idea of a payment service to an international scalable […]

Company registration in the EU, Asia and the CIS, obtaining financial licenses and building a reliable AML framework are not separate projects, but interconnected elements of a resilient strategy. When an entrepreneur gains the ambition to operate simultaneously in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Cyprus, Estonia, the United Kingdom, Singapore and Dubai, complexity grows exponentially. My […]

Real-time banking transaction checks have ceased to be a “regulator’s last-mile requirement” and have become an element of business strategy. When a system promptly detects anomalies, stops a fraud attempt, and automatically generates reports, a company not only complies with regulations — it saves time, retains customers, and reduces operating expenses. The COREDO team has […]

I often hear the question: how to build a legal model that truly works across different jurisdictions, rather than just existing on paper? Over the years at COREDO I am convinced, that a strong legal model for a company is not a static set of policies and regulations, but a living corporate governance mechanism that […]

I have been building COREDO since 2016 and have seen how international acquiring has transformed from an auxiliary function into a strategic asset. Properly structured payments drive higher conversion, reduce total cost of ownership, lower fraud risks and accelerate expansion into new markets. The COREDO team has implemented dozens of projects in the EU, the […]

Over the years since 2016, together with the team COREDO I have developed a compliance and licensing practice so that entrepreneurs from Europe, Asia and the CIS can enter new markets without unnecessary turbulence. Company formation in the EU, Singapore or Dubai, obtaining payment, forex and crypto licenses, building robust AML processes — these tasks […]

I founded COREDO in 2016 with a very simple idea: entrepreneurs should have access to a predictable and secure infrastructure for international business. Since then the COREDO team has completed hundreds of projects in the EU, Asia and the CIS and has gone through the whole process with clients: from company registration to obtaining financial […]

I have been working with international investment platforms and crowdfunding services for many years, and today I see a unique window of opportunity in Europe. Regulation has become strict and transparent, the infrastructure: mature, and investors demanding and disciplined. In such an environment, those who build compliance by design, plan licensing in advance, and understand […]

Multi-level ownership structures in the EU: how I design sustainable holdings that meet compliance requirements and scale Since 2016 I have run COREDO as a practicum for creating and developing international companies. Each new project confirms: multi-level holding structures in Europe give businesses flexibility, tax predictability and asset protection, but require impeccable compliance discipline. I […]

I regularly hear the same question from entrepreneurs: how to launch BNPL in Europe and the United Kingdom so that regulators support the model and the unit economics don’t fall apart? Since 2016 the COREDO team has been helping businesses register legal entities in the EU and Asia, obtain financial licences, build AML compliance and […]

Since 2016 I have been developing COREDO as a solutions platform for entrepreneurs who build international financial services, crypto projects, payment companies and holding structures. During this time the COREDO team has implemented dozens of projects in the EU, Singapore, Dubai, the United Kingdom, Estonia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Canada, as well as […]

I see every day how even strong crypto companies and fintech projects face not so much technical challenges as banking and regulatory ones. The main choke points are correspondent banking, settlements and account freezes caused by insufficiently developed AML and weak “substance”. Over ten years my team and I at COREDO have gone through dozens […]

I have been leading COREDO since 2016 and every quarter I see the same thing: companies that treat the fight against money laundering (AML) as “a checkbox for the regulator” end up paying a high price for it — from account freezes and halted operations to prolonged inspections and the loss of partners. AML compliance […]

Since 2016 I have been building COREDO as a platform where entrepreneurs receive not just company registration abroad and access to banking, but a resilient architecture of payment flows and compliance processes that withstand regulatory audits and business growth. Over these years the COREDO team has implemented projects in the EU, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, […]

Over ten years of managing COREDO I have become convinced: the speed and quality of compliance decision-making determine a company’s competitiveness no less than product and marketing. Regulation is tightening, sanctions regimes change dynamically, and clients want a fast onboarding solution without compromises. That is why OSINT checks of beneficiaries have become the foundation of […]

I founded COREDO when it became clear: global expansion of companies is not constrained by the speed of registration or the cost of a license, but by management’s ability to manage AML and sanctions-compliance risks systematically and demonstrably. Over ten years the COREDO team has completed dozens of projects in the EU, the UK, Singapore […]

When I launched COREDO in 2016, fintech seemed like a race of ideas. Today it’s not ideas that win, but sustainable models: legally sound, regulatorily mature, and operationally reliable. Over the years the COREDO team has implemented dozens of projects for registering legal entities in the EU and Asia, obtaining electronic money (EMI) licenses, setting […]

I have been managing COREDO since 2016 and I see: the relocation of a fintech company between jurisdictions is no longer an exception. It is a practical tool for managing regulatory risks, scaling and reducing operating costs. But every fintech company relocation is not just about a “new license”; it is about the business model, […]

Greetings — I’m the CEO and founder of COREDO. Since 2016, our team has been helping entrepreneurs from Europe, Asia and the CIS build sustainable international businesses. We focus on company formation, obtaining financial licenses, AML consulting and full legal support – from Due Diligence to asset protection. Registering a company abroad opens doors to […]

As CEO and founder of COREDO, I see daily how financial companies in Europe, Asia and the CIS face growing challenges: from strict EU regulations to market volatility in Dubai and Singapore. The role of internal audit goes beyond simple checks; it becomes a strategic tool that strengthens financial resilience and increases the ROI of […]

As the CEO and founder of COREDO, I see every day how entrepreneurs from Europe, Asia and the CIS face a maze of AML regulations. Since 2016 our team has supported company registrations, obtaining financial licences and implementing compliance in key jurisdictions — from the Czech Republic and Cyprus to Singapore and Dubai. Today, as […]

As CEO and founder of COREDO, I see every day how entrepreneurs from Europe, Asia and the CIS face challenges structuring investment businesses for effective investor onboarding. Our experience since 2016 in registering legal entities in the EU, Singapore, Dubai and other jurisdictions shows: the right investment structure accelerates investor onboarding, reduces risks and increases […]

I welcome you as the CEO and founder of COREDO. Since 2016 our team has been assisting entrepreneurs from Europe, Asia and the CIS with company formation, obtaining financial licenses and ensuring AML compliance. I have seen fintech startups frequently encounter AML breaches that lead to massive fines — up to $150 million in the […]

I welcome you as the CEO and founder of COREDO. Since 2016 our team has been helping entrepreneurs from Europe, Asia and the CIS overcome the barriers of international expansion. We focus on company formation, obtaining financial licenses and ensuring AML compliance, turning complex regulatory challenges into competitive advantages. In this article I will share […]

Greetings, fellow entrepreneurs and chief financial officers. As CEO and founder of COREDO, I have been observing since 2016 how banks are tightening OSINT checks of beneficiaries before opening accounts or issuing licenses. Our experience at COREDO has shown: transparent verification of UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner, ultimate beneficial owners) using open sources is the key […]

I welcome you as the CEO and founder of COREDO. Since 2016 our team has accumulated deep experience in registering legal entities abroad, obtaining financial licenses, and AML consulting. Today I will share a practical approach to creating KYC policy for international groups that combines a unified KYC standard with local KYC adaptation to the […]

When entrepreneurs from Europe, Asia and the CIS countries come to me for a consultation, almost always the same combination appears in their questions: where to register the company, how to obtain the required financial license and how to design AML so that regulators trust it and compliance doesn’t strangle the business. Over the years […]

I have been leading COREDO since 2016, and during that time hundreds of structures have gone through our projects: from European fintech startups and crypto platforms to Asian holdings with multi-level chains of owners. The more regulation becomes complex, the clearer one thing: beneficiary checks by banks and other financial organizations have long ceased to […]

When entrepreneurs ask me what has changed most radically in international business in recent years, I answer with one word: sanctions. Sanctions restrictions are no longer just “background” – they shape the architecture of international holdings, determine access to banks, licenses, capital markets and even basic cross-border payments. Since 2016 the team COREDO has been […]

When an entrepreneur asks me which is faster: to set up a new entity or to buy a ready-made financial company in the EU, I always answer the same: the speed of the deal means nothing without quality Due Diligence. This is where those who treat the review not as a formality but as an […]

When an entrepreneur encounters a bank refusal without explanation for the first time, it is perceived as the personal decision of a particular manager or the bank’s “whim”. In practice this is almost always the result of a formalized risk-based approach, internal risk policies and the outcomes of automated bank compliance for businesses. Over the […]

To summarize my experience as the founder of COREDO, most questions and problems for international businesses today arise not from company registration or even from obtaining a license, but from how to move forward in a world of continuous transaction monitoring and strict AML compliance requirements. An entrepreneur sees one thing: “the payment was delayed […]

When I launched COREDO in 2016, the main task was not simply to register companies abroad, but to build stable structures for clients that could withstand any tightening of regulation, updates to the FATF lists and revisions of banking policies. Over the years it has become clear: the FATF grey list is not an abstract […]

When an entrepreneur today hears from a bank or regulator “please provide source of funds and source of wealth“, it’s no longer a formal checklist but a real filter: will your business be accepted into the international financial system, will you be able to open an account in Europe or Asia, will you close an […]

For the tenth year now I have been observing the same picture: when companies enter new jurisdictions they calculate taxes in detail but hardly consider regulatory risk and compliance risk. As a result some lose months negotiating with the regulator, others lose licenses and reputation. And a third come to us already in crisis mode: […]

When an entrepreneur first comes to me with the idea of entering the payments services market in Europe, the same question usually reads in their eyes: “Where do you even start?” Regulation of payment institutions in the EU is not a single law or a single regulator, but a whole architecture of directives, national acts, […]

When founders of fintech‑projects, bank spin‑offs or corporate treasurers turn to us at COREDO, the first question today sounds like this: “Is it even possible to build a viable stablecoin model in Europe after MiCA, and how can it be done legally and profitably?” From years of working on company registrations in the EU, the […]
