Vanuatu Financial Broker License Advantage

Operational convenience: Licensing companies can operate globally. Vanuatu's loose tax policy and simple corporate governance structure are conducive to enterprises focusing on business expansion.

Good market recognition: Although the VFSC license does not belong to the world's top regulatory license, it has a certain degree of recognition in some international markets and is suitable as the first step for enterprises to enter the global financial market, establish credibility and expand their customer base.

Cost-effective: The overall cost of applying for and maintaining a VFSC licence is lower than in other jurisdictions.

Strong cross-border service capabilities: VFSC licenses support cross-border operations and facilitate enterprises to serve global customers.
