It depends on your activity categories and structure. VARA regulatory fees are set by the regulator; our fee is quoted per scope after an initial review of your business model.
Typical timelines: VARA — 9–12 months, CMA — 9–12 months, MiCA CASP — 4–9 months. The exact timeline depends on the activity, the entity, and how ready your documentation and product are.

We cannot unblock an account ourselves: only the exchange or the bank can lift a restriction, so we do not guarantee the outcome. What we do is guide you through the review — we assess the case, prepare the documentation and advise on how to engage with the exchange.
Yes, we can help. We work with partners and sellers across different sectors and licence types and can connect you with suitable options. We do not hold or run listings ourselves.
Our focus is regulation and compliance, so we don’t take on investor search or fundraising. What we can do is make sure your structure, licensing and compliance are in the shape investors expect to see.
