Anjouan offshore brokerage licensing (Comoros)
An Anjouan offshore brokerage licence is one of the most accessible entry points into the regulated brokerage world. It suits firms that want a recognised offshore permission to launch quickly and prove a model before committing to a stronger, costlier regime.
The regulator
The licence is issued under the autonomous island of Anjouan’s offshore framework within the Comoros. It is an entry-level permission with light substance requirements, which is exactly its appeal and also its limit: it is a starting point, not a destination.
What the licence permits
Regulated under the Anjouan OFA
- Operate as a licensed offshore brokerage
- Serve a broad international client base
- Launch lean and migrate into stronger regimes later
Who it suits
New firms and proof-of-concept launches that want an accessible offshore start with room to graduate.
Market access
Wide international reach as an entry-level offshore licence.
