Advantages of Vanuatu Financial Dealer License

  • Flexible application requirements: The VFSC License is known for its accessible entry criteria. With lower registered capital requirements and a simplified application process, businesses can obtain licensing faster and with less regulatory friction.
  • Operational convenience: Licensed entities benefit from the ability to conduct business on a global scale. Vanuatu’s favorable tax policies and simplified corporate governance structure make it easier for companies to focus on growth rather than administrative burdens.
  • Market recognition: Although not as globally recognized as Tier 1 licenses, the VFSC License is acknowledged in certain international markets. It often serves as a strategic first step for companies looking to enter the global financial sector, helping establish initial credibility and access new client bases.
  • Cost effectiveness: The overall cost of obtaining and maintaining a VFSC License is significantly lower than in many other jurisdictions.
  • International reach: The VFSC License supports cross-border activities, enabling licensees to serve clients worldwide.

  • Physical premises: The company must operate from a physical premise located in Vanuatu, and must appoint a registered agent with a registered address.
  • Corporate Bank Account: A business bank account is required for injection of paid-up capital as well as for operational purposes.
