The Anjouan Brokerage Licence has emerged as a strategic licensing solution for forex brokers and financial services businesses seeking an international regulatory framework in 2026.

From the 15th March 2024, a new set of legal provisions started to apply whenever a Cyprus Company is converted from a Cyprus company to one of the companies of the Member States of the European Union or when a company from a Member State of the European Union is converted to a Cyprus company. This is due to the amendment of the Companies Law (No.3) of 2024 (Law 26(I)/2024) (the “Amendment Law”) that transposed into domestic law the provisions of Directive (EU) 2019/2121 (the “Mobility Directive”) that amended Directive (EU) 2017/1132 as regards cross-border conversions.
