Who we are

Regulatory & Compliance Infrastructure — Not Generic Consulting

Artlex Consult is a Czech Republic–based regulatory and compliance consultancy focused on practical implementation for crypto, fintech, and digital asset businesses operating across international markets.

Our team combines AML/CFT expertise, legal analysis, and operational implementation experience — built specifically for businesses operating in complex, cross-border regulatory environments. We focus not only on documentation, but on building compliance systems that work in practice.

Our team brings direct operational experience — having worked in senior roles including MLRO (Money Laundering Reporting Officer) and CEO positions in regulated financial and digital asset companies. This first-hand understanding of how compliance functions inside a business — not just on paper — is what sets our work apart.

The Artlex Consult team consists of qualified lawyers holding doctoral degrees (PhD) in law, members of the Metaverse Bar Association (Canada) — combining academic rigour, digital asset expertise, and practical regulatory experience across international markets.

Beyond compliance, our legal background covers corporate law, commercial agreements, company structuring, and governance documentation — providing integrated legal and regulatory support without the need for multiple advisors.

We help businesses prepare for regulatory scrutiny, banking due diligence, operational scaling, investor expectations, and market entry — building compliance programmes that hold up under examination.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about crypto licensing, AML/CFT requirements, and regulatory compliance for digital businesses.

Do all crypto businesses require a license?
No. Licensing obligations depend on the business model, activities performed, target markets, customer base, and jurisdictional exposure. A detailed regulatory assessment is typically required to determine applicable requirements.
Is MiCA applicable only to EU companies?
No. MiCA may affect non-EU businesses offering crypto-asset services into the EU market or targeting EU clients. The territorial scope of MiCA applies to the location of services, not only the location of the provider.
Can a company operate with only template AML policies?
In many cases, no. Regulators, banks, and institutional partners increasingly assess whether AML/CFT systems are operationally functional and proportionate to the actual business model — not simply whether documentation exists.
Do you provide ongoing compliance support after licensing?
Yes. Ongoing compliance, AML governance, remediation support, and operational assistance may be provided depending on the scope of engagement. Many clients work with us on a long-term basis.
Do you work with offshore jurisdictions?
Yes. Support may be provided for selected international jurisdictions depending on the business model and project scope. We collaborate with local partners where jurisdiction-specific support is required.
What is the difference between VASP and CASP?
VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider) is the FATF terminology used in many jurisdictions globally. CASP (Crypto-Asset Service Provider) is the EU terminology under MiCA. Depending on target markets, a business may need to consider both frameworks.
Building a Regulated Crypto
or FinTech Business?
Regulatory structuring should support operational scalability, banking access, investor confidence, and long-term compliance — not only licensing formalities.
