Company formation
Offshore company formation built for an MT5 licence
The company is the foundation of your MetaQuotes application. We form it in the right jurisdiction, with the right objects and documents, so the rest of the file falls into place.
Updated
- Mauritius, the Bahamas, Comoros, Saint Lucia
- Trading & brokerage objects from day one
- Registers, address proofs and legal opinion
- Bank or PSP account assistance
For an MT5 licence, the company must be formed with trading, forex or brokerage objects, real addresses and a bank account. We form Mauritius GBCs, Bahamas companies, Mwali IBCs and Saint Lucia IBCs built for the MetaQuotes review.
Why it matters
Not every company is accepted by MetaQuotes
A generic offshore company, formed for "general trading" with a virtual address and no bank account, will rarely pass MetaQuotes review. The company must be established for trading of financial instruments, online forex or brokerage and financial services, show a real registered and physical address, bank, and be transparent about its owners.
We form companies with these requirements built in from the start, so there is no need to amend objects, change agents or re-issue registers later.
