License requirements
To obtain a crypto license in Anjouan, a company must:
1) incorporate an IBC;
2) implement effective AML/KYC policies and procedures;

4) submit a business activity description;
5) pay applicable government fees.
Important note:
Licenses are subject to annual renewal and confirmation that the company continues to comply with applicable requirements.
Our priority
An Anjouan company (IBC) serves as a base entity; however, incorporation alone is not sufficient.
A functional crypto business typically requires licensing, an effective AML/CFT framework, as well as alignment with banks and counterparties. Without these elements, the business structure may not be suitable for real operations.
That is why our packages are structured to go beyond company incorporation and license application. We support clients in building a compliance-ready operational structure, including the implementation of AML/CFT documentation aligned with their business models.
Anjouan licenses are subject to annual renewal. Maintaining a licensed structure requires ongoing alignment with compliance and operational requirements. Artlex Consult provides annual maintenance support to assist clients in maintaining this alignment, including light AML/CFT review and preparation for license renewal.
