Ready-Made EMI and CASP (MiCA) Companies for Sale

Ready-Made EMI and CASP (MiCA) Companies for Sale

Ready-made companies with EMI or CASP licences are fully registered and licensed legal entities in Lithuania that have already completed all stages of the Bank of Lithuania’s authorisation.

You acquire not only a company, but a ready-made business with an active licence, internal policies, a governance structure and a track record of regulatory compliance — allowing you to quickly launch EMI or crypto activity across the EU without going through full licensing from scratch.
