Advice and guidance
for entrepreneurs starting
a cryptocurrency business

Nowadays, the cryptocurrency business is becoming more and more popular in the world. Many companies are starting to set up cryptocurrency-focused businesses. However, before establishing a business of this kind, it is necessary to consider the advice and guidance of lawyers specializing in the industry.

  • What are the benefits for the cryptocurrency business in the Estonian jurisdiction?

    At first, the entrepreneurs who decide to start their activities in the cryptocurrency business should choose a country to start their company. Estonia is one of the most beneficial countries for running a crypto business, as it recognizes cryptocurrency activities and has legal regulations for crypto companies. Estonia also has a friendly environment for starting and running a business, as evidenced by the third-highest number of start-ups among European countries. Due to the developed digital infrastructure, any entrepreneur, whether a resident or non-resident of Estonia, can easily set up and run a company remotely via the internet using an e-resident card. The whole process of setting up a company in Estonia takes just one day and requires minimal costs for both the registration itself and the future maintenance of the company.

    Before launching a cryptocurrency company, it is crucial to know which countries allow cryptocurrency activities on a legislative level and grant the necessary licences and permits. As mentioned earlier, Estonia is one of the most suitable countries for setting up this type of business.

  • What does the procedure for obtaining a cryptocurrency licence represents?

    The second important point for cryptocurrency entrepreneurs is to obtain a cryptocurrency licence. This licence permits running cryptocurrency businesses. By operating without a crypto-licence, a company is more likely to violate the corresponding country laws. Such activities can lead to massive fines or even criminal liability. By obtaining a cryptocurrency licence, your company will be operating under regulation from government agencies. In addition, by obtaining a cryptocurrency licence, your company will increase its credibility and trust among customers and business partners and become more attractive than competitors.

So, when starting a cryptocurrency-oriented business, you should obtain a licence that grants the right to operate, avoiding huge fines or even criminal liability.

  • Maintain accounting records following relevant regulations.

    The third recommendation for a cryptocurrency entrepreneur is to keep mandatory accounting records in fulfilment of related regulations. Organize accounting of clients and company funds using up-to-date crypto exchange rates. Such a requirement applies to all businesses, as public authorities should be aware of the company’s financial position, performance and cash flows. In this case, you can keep accounting records by yourself, with the support of an in-house accountant, or you can order the services of our company to maintain bookkeeping. It is important to remember that having an efficient accounting organization is one of the main requirements for the successful development of a company.

  • Establish the well-functioning project infrastructure

    The fourth piece of advice for running a cryptocurrency business is to create the infrastructure for the project to function. To achieve this, you need to open a payment system, bank or cryptocurrency exchange account. If you want to use the service, you can contact our company. Opening an account will enable you to make transactions using digital currencies. For example, opening an account on cryptocurrency exchange allows you to exchange virtual money against fiat currency on legal grounds.

  • Integrate effective AML/KYC measures into your company

In this case, you will need to hire an AML officer to handle all processes combating financial crime, introducing effective AML/KYC measures into the company’s operations. You can choose the right candidate yourself or order our AML officer recruitment, training and skill development services. You can read more about such services on our website or get more detailed information by contacting us.

    In addition, you also need to integrate functional and secure IT solutions into your company. In this case, it is vital to choose the right IT strategy and integrate it into the activity to create a productive digital infrastructure. Such efficient usage of IT solutions will help your company optimize core business processes, manage and handle important information more efficiently. For more information on implementing IT solutions in your company, contact us for a consultation.

  • Develop Terms & Conditions, Privacy policy, AML policy

A well-built system of relationships with customers ensures that a company has a higher level of customer loyalty and contributes to its active development.
