Looking for readymade crypto company?

Readymade companies with licenses are not allowed to sell by the FIU. So if you buy one then this will be a waste of time and money because once you wanna do the license transfer then FIU will see that and the license more likely will be canceled.

WHY ESTONIA?

Estonia enjoys a reputation for being the most advanced nation in terms of technology when it comes to government. Some renowned magazines, like Wired, have also recognized the country as “the most advanced digital society in the world.”

​

During recent times, the country’s legislative body, department of justice, education, healthcare, banking and those for voting and even taxes and policing, were digitized into a single platform under the e-Estonia project.

​

Furthermore, the country is the first to introduce the e-Residency concept to the world. E-residency allows non-Estonian citizens to apply for citizenship with the Estonian government. It allows for them to be issued a digital identity card backed by the country’s government. Estonia company registration is made easy by e-residency card. 

​

During the last decade, Estonia has transformed into a technology hub, wherein dozens of successful startups have flourished.

One of the main reasons for this is the simple and reasonable tax environment. Tech entrepreneurs are charged zero tax on retained profits whereas a 20% tax is charged on the distributed ones. There is an ease of compliance as almost every filing can be done electronically using the e-residency card.

​
