FAQ

Quick answers for founders evaluating the BVI route.

Which virtual-asset activities can this pathway cover?

Typically exchange services, transfer-related activity, custody/admin functions, and related financial services tied to virtual assets (subject to model review).

Can non-resident founders use this route?

Yes, many engagements are structured for international founders, depending on final operating and governance design.

Are monthly operational services part of the model?

They can be. Scope depends on your service type and structure; we map this in the initial roadmap.

Why is pricing private?

Scope varies materially by service mix, controls depth, and launch timeline, so we scope first to avoid misquoting.
