* JY Global coordinates licensing as an administrative and compliance counterparty — we do not act as a law firm, regulated financial adviser, licence sponsor, product issuer, market maker, broker, payment institution, VASP, MSB, MSO, trustee, nominee applicant or regulatory representative, and we do not provide legal, financial, investment, tax, accounting or audit advice. All engagements are subject to legal review, eligibility assessment, regulatory approval and local professional advice. No approval or timeline is guaranteed.
Every licensing engagement starts with an eligibility assessment — not a brochure. We tell you what the regulator is likely to push back on before we draft a single document.
We review the structure, beneficial owners, regulatory exposure and jurisdictional fit before any application is drafted.
Coordinated preparation of corporate documents, beneficial-ownership disclosures, KYC and substance arrangements.
Submission with the regulator, coordination with local counsel and active follow-up through the review window — with realistic status updates.
Annual filings, renewals, change-of-control filings, board changes and posture reviews — for as long as the licence is live.
A senior advisor reviews the regulatory contour, eligibility and timeline before we commit to any application. Initial conversations are no fee.
