New licenses and registrations
We prepare and file the application directly with the regulator, not through a local agent acting on our behalf. We file in 19 jurisdictions, including Canada, Georgia, Switzerland, Poland, Hong Kong and Australia.
About Equilex
Equilex is a licensing and compliance consultancy for crypto, payment, fintech, iGaming and forex businesses. We prepare and file applications with financial regulators, incorporate the entities behind them, and write the AML and compliance documentation those regulators require. We have completed 117 mandates across 19 jurisdictions, working from offices in Warsaw and Hong Kong.
We do not issue licenses and we do not promise outcomes. A regulator decides, and we tell clients before engagement whether we think an application will hold.

What we do
There are two routes to an authorization: apply for a new one, or buy a company that already holds it.
Ready-made companies
Transferable licensed entities for buyers who need an existing authorization rather than a new application. Listed on our marketplace, Dealable24.
Where we file
Every licence we prepare and file for, by vertical.
What comes with either route
An authorization only holds if the company behind it survives due diligence and the compliance file matches the regime. We incorporate with the banking and substance the regulator expects, and write the AML/CFT policies, risk assessments and onboarding procedures for that specific regime rather than handing over a generic pack.
After approval we can stay on: outsourced CAMLO, FINTRAC and RPAA reporting, and upkeep for registrations you are not trading under yet.
Scope and limits
A regulator decides, not us.
Equilex is an independent consulting firm. We prepare and file; every registration decision belongs to the regulator. We are not affiliated with FINTRAC, KNF, VQF, AUSTRAC, or any other regulator or government body, and we do not guarantee any regulatory outcome.
We decline mandates that cannot pass.
Where the business model fails a regime's substance, capital, or local presence requirements, we say so during scoping rather than after the retainer is paid.
Every filing is our own.
We deal with the regulator directly rather than instructing a local agent to file on our behalf.
We are a consultancy, not a law firm.
Equilex Limited is registered in Hong Kong as a consulting company. Where a filing requires a lawyer admitted in the relevant jurisdiction, we engage local counsel.

Figures as of .
We turn down the mandates we do not believe will pass. The regulator’s decision has to be predictable before we file, or we have no business taking the fee.

Common questions
We begin by understanding the nature of your business, proposed activities, target markets, and operational requirements. Based on this information, we assess which jurisdiction and regulatory framework may be the most suitable for your needs. Where confidential or sensitive information needs to be exchanged, we may first arrange an NDA and complete the required KYC/KYB checks before proceeding with a more detailed assessment.
We normally provide an initial response within 24 hours of receiving your inquiry.
Yes, always. Regulator and government fees are included in the quoted price, together with the work itself: structuring, documentation, filing, and dealing with the regulator.
No. The granting of any license, registration, or regulatory authorization remains solely at the discretion of the relevant regulatory authority and therefore cannot be guaranteed. The outcome of an application may depend on a number of factors, including the applicant's proposed business model and activities, ownership and source of funds, the fitness and propriety of its shareholders, directors and key personnel, the adequacy of its governance and compliance framework, and the regulatory requirements and supervisory approach applicable at the time of submission. Before entering into an engagement, we conduct a preliminary assessment of the proposed structure and provide our professional view on the applicant's eligibility, potential regulatory concerns, and overall prospects of obtaining the required authorization.
There are unrelated businesses with a similar name in other industries. Equilex Limited operates equilex.co, dealable24.com, and canadian-msb.com, and no other sites. Our LinkedIn page is linkedin.com/company/equilex-consulting.
