How to obtain a brokerage license in Panama?

Steps:

  • Establishing a company. Trader exchanges involve dealing with a large amount of finance and in many jurisdictions belong to the investment sector of the economy. Conducting all currency transactions is much more profitable if you have your own company in Panama. Requirement for the presence of a head office or a separate LLC within the borders of the state is mandatory for all citizens and non-residents.

  • Registration of settlement account. All material values and assets in monetary equivalent should be legalized, that is deposited on the bank account. It is inexpedient from an economic point of view to transfer currency to financial institutions of other countries, thus, Law&Trust’s specialists provide the service of opening account with local banks.

  • Establishment of the Board of directors. Jurisdiction does not require the employment of residents of the country in your company, but each specialist among the beneficial owners, shareholders and managerial staff must provide evidence of their own qualifications. Professionalism of your staff should be at a high level.

  • Compilation of the application. The application form is submitted in English to the National Commission for the Securities of Panama (CVN). This organization solely controls the entire forex market in the country, due to which it has great authority and wide powers.

  • Collection of documents. Obtaining brokerage license in Panama requires considerable preparation. The main package is collected already at the stage of the company's establishment, and it includes data on shareholders and their material condition. When submitting the application, it is necessary to attach information on the authorized capital of the organization, the memorandum of association, the charter, business development plan of the corporation and other documents. Collection and verification of all forms are carried out by the specialists of Law&Trust , which significantly speeds up the procedure for obtaining permission for brokerage in Panama.
