BVI: THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
British Virgin Islands: VASP License
Build a compliant BVI pathway for virtual-asset operations. We support company formation, VASP registration workflow preparation, and a production-ready compliance framework covering AML/KYC and data protection controls.
Regulatory snapshot
Most projects begin with activity classification, legal/compliance memo scope, then move into incorporation + VASP workflow preparation and framework implementation.
VASP activity scope
Includes exchange (fiat/crypto and crypto/crypto), transfer services, custody/admin of virtual assets, and related financial services linked to issuance/sale models where applicable.
Compliance architecture
AML/KYC controls, onboarding standards, monitoring logic, and documented internal procedures built for practical operational use.
Operational continuity
Monthly operational services can include designated responsible roles and local presence elements, depending on final structure.

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.
