Labuan financial business activities
Labuan FSA licence applications
Labuan FSA licenses banking, insurance, leasing, factoring, money broking, commodity trading, credit token and capital markets business under the Labuan Financial Services and Securities Act 2010.
A Labuan licence application is not a form-filling exercise. Labuan FSA assesses the business plan, the capital, the premises, the counterparties and the fitness of the people behind the application. The pre-assessment stage — establishing which licence your activity actually needs — determines everything downstream.
Our service covers pre-assessment of the business activity, advice on the latest regulatory and statutory requirements, preparation of the documents pertaining to the licence, and helping clients in their interactions with Labuan FSA.
We also incorporate and maintain the licensed entity itself. A licence applicant needs a Labuan company, a registered office and a resident secretary — and those can only come from a licensed trust company.
