ESG reporting in the UK involves the disclosure of information regarding the environmental, social, and governance aspects of a company's operations.

A UK holding company can utilize various tax mechanisms to structure subsidiary ownership and manage group profits more efficiently. However, UK law does not provide a specific, all-encompassing tax regime solely based on a company’s status as a "holding company." Tax benefits depend on the group's structure, the nature of the income, and the transactions between companies.

To launch a cryptocurrency business, an entrepreneur can either set up a company and complete all necessary procedures independently or consider purchasing a ready-made structure. The latter option may be particularly attractive to those wishing to reduce launch preparation time and gain immediate access to an established corporate and licensing framework.

Launching a cryptocurrency business does not necessarily require registering a company and going through every procedure from scratch.

If you are planning to launch a fintech or payment business in the EU, one of the first questions is how to obtain the necessary license. You could set up a company in Lithuania and go through the entire licensing process from scratch. Alternatively, you could consider acquiring an existing Electronic Money Institution (EMI). For an entrepreneur, the latter option may be far more attractive if the primary goal is not merely to obtain a license, but to launch an actual financial business as quickly as possible.

Are you planning to invest in Turkish real estate with a budget of $400,000 or more? If so, purchasing an apartment or house can offer you more than just a property.

For international financial business, jurisdiction is not just the country of registration of a company. Access to payment infrastructure, the ability to work with clients in different countries, capital requirements, regulatory burden and further scaling of the business depend on it. That is why, before launching a fintech project, payment service, money transfer or e-wallet, it is important to determine not just “where is it cheaper to open a company”, but where a specific business model will receive the best conditions for work. Among the popular options for international financial business, Lithuania, Hong Kong and Canada are often considered. But these jurisdictions provide fundamentally different opportunities.

Starting a payment or fintech business in the EU is not just about creating a company and developing your own product. An entrepreneur also needs to address the issues of accepting payments, transferring funds, working with banks, card systems, IBAN, KYC/AML and other financial infrastructure. That is why for many companies, an alternative to creating an entire payment system from scratch is a ready-made Payment Provider - a payment provider with an already configured infrastructure and the necessary regulatory capabilities.

The new rules may be of particular interest to IT and FinTech projects, international groups of companies, service centers and businesses that receive the bulk of their income outside of Turkey.

In particular, the Qualified Service Center regime was introduced, incentives for the Istanbul Financial Center and international trade were expanded.

An EMI license in Lithuania is one of the options for fintech companies that plan to operate with electronic money, payments and money transfers on the European market. The license is issued by the Bank of Lithuania, and after obtaining a standard EMI license, the institution can carry out relevant activities not only in Lithuania, but also in the territory of the European Union within the framework of the mechanism provided for by law.
