Whether you are a new or existing business, choosing the “home” for your EU licensed entity is a strategic decision. The regulator you choose will be your point of contact for all operational and compliance related matters.

Here is some advice to consider
1
Regulator
Look for a country with a clear and stable regulatory framework. Smaller countries may offer more flexibility and less bureaucracy.
2
Costs
Compare not only the application fees for obtaining a MiCA licence, but also the ongoing costs related to compliance, including audits and reporting requirements.
3
Tax
Compare the corporate tax rates and any specific tax incentives for fintech and crypto businesses. Check the existence of favourable tax treaties with other countries where you might do business.
4
Local Presence
Engage with legal, financial, and regulatory experts who specialize in the crypto industry and have experience in the jurisdictions you are considering.
