Try Upwork. If you post your question and a fixed price of say USD 200-300, you should be able to get some answers. A trick here is not to limit yourself to UK advisors as the setup you need is international, and also to start with some simple questons. After all, you want to finf the right advisor.

It depends on the way you look at it. Yes, the costs for setting up a regulated crypto exchange in Gibraltar is high and so are the upholding costs. So, obviously the costs are "insane" if you compare them to running an decentralised exchange with few people involved. But, this way you build...

It is reliable. EMIs are currently not reporting under CRS (or FATCA unless they have signed up individually). In the EU framework there is an exemption for EMIs. EU does, of course, know that this is "a hole in the fence". But, the amount of money that passes throug EMIs every year is still...

Correct. But this is the effective tax rate. First the Malta company will have to pay 35% tax and then the shareholder - wich is the Cyprus company in your example - will get a up 6/7 of this refunded. Dividends from a Malta company to a Cyprus company are normally not taxed.

Correct. There is no requirement to have any employees. If you have an Estonian company and one to get a crypto license, there are some requirements that involves local people. But, a normal Estonian company does not have any such requirements. Malta has an effective tax rate of 5% if you have...

What @Sols said..... I know this can be a bit hard to understand and accept but the essence is that in todays world you cannot just open up a company in a country - like Estonia - and expect everyone else to accept that this is an Estonian company. True, the more activity you actually have in...

This will not work. It is that simple. You see, people do not tend to suddenly show up with this amount of money. When they do, banks and EMIs get very sceptical. This is how I would have solved this: 1) Get an EMI that accepts crypto and start to move small sums. You can increase the sums...

This is also my guess. Crime in the financial industry is very rewarding if done correctly.

No, this is still correct. But, a UK LP will always be regarded as a partnership for tax purposes in other countries du to the fact that one partner has unlimited liability. Wheras, a UK LLP will often be regarded as a company for tax purposes in other countries.

A UK Ltd pays normal corporate tax. The tax rate in the UK is currently 19% A UK LLP is a tax transparent entity, so it is not taxed as such in the UK. Instead, the partners are taxed on their share of the income/surplus according to the partnership agreement. If the partners are foreigners...

It is always a bit alarming when several new members appears on the forum and their first post is all about giving a good review to a provider. We cannot really rule out that it is real, but on the other hand it is a bit suspicious. I have used Offshore Company Corp once and they did deliver...

Yes, this is because of FATCA. Egypt has not signed FATCA on a national level. Hence, they do not exchange information state to state. But, nearly all Egyptian banks have signed FATCA and these report directly to the US government. As for now, there are no reporting "the other way".

Do this in Estonia instead. The poblem today is that crypto activites are in a vacuum when it comes to regulation. True, in many ways I do prefer that it is unregulated activities, but the situation today is that it is often somewhere inbetween. Getting more and more regulated, but still...

Open a company in Nevis. Don't bother to try to hide your name or use nominees or anything like that. Get an offshore bank account for this company. The point is that a Nevis company (a blacklisted jurisdiction) are extreemly difficult and expensive to sue, they will first have to deposit USD...

Yes, both of them. Both are tax transparent entities, and both have limited liability for the partner/member. So, you will definatly need to check how your home country treats this because the normal situation in civil law (as opposed to common law) is that you either have a corporation that...

I do not think it is a lot of countries where this is illigal. I reaserched it once and I think we opted to stay away from UAE, Singapore, Hong Kong, and some other jurisdictions. But, most are ok with this. Banking is more difficult as soon as you touch the adult industry.

Do not send to Transferwise from a crypto exchange. I have heard of several cases where they have suspended accounts due to this, but I guess you can be lucky for a while.

I use both of them and I do not think it is one answer to this question. It depends on what is the most important features to you. Personally, I prefer Transferwise for business and Revolut as a person. But again, it is probably mostly about what services I actually need. Business wise I need...

Interesting. Can you provide any details? I have not used them myself, but I have been contacted by their representatives many times. They seem to target crypto companies.

No, it is not a scam. I have seen and talked to people who has this status. BUT, it does not make a lot of sense for people that has "active income", and that is not the type of people they target either. If you have "passive income from abroad" it makes a lot of sense, but then you also have...
