The New Zealand Financial Service Provider market is one of the most reputable offshore jurisdictions for forming Financial Service Providers who act like Banks and are often referred to as FSPs. An FSP within the New Zealand jurisdiction that caters to non-New Zealand residents is any person or Company providing Financial Services from or within New Zealand, including Banks, Building Societies, Brokers, Credit Unions, Currency Exchangers, Finance Companies, Financial Advisers, Investment Managers, and Insurers among others. The mechanism of registering an FSP is made possible due to the fact that New Zealand repealed its entire Banking Act in 1995 (Banking Act Repeal Act 1995) and thereby facilitated free entry in to the business of banking. There are several laws regulating a financial business, but New Zealand is unique in the sense that an international banking entity can be established without capital requirements, qualification requirements or excessive supervisory requirements. If banking services are not offered to the public in New Zealand, the requirements of prospectus, supervisory trustee and investment statements as set out in Part II of the Securities Act 1978 do not apply. FSPs offering services to non-residents also operate outside the geographical scope of the Non-Bank Deposit. This structure is therefore ideal for an Asia focused broker dealership which gives the comfort of being within the Asia Pacific region within a common time zone. In addition, the Broker Dealer can take clients from all over the World.

For the past 18 years I have been involved with building Payment Service Providers around the world, with various licenses within the US, Canada, Spain, Sweden, Malta, Philippines, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Africa, UK, Australia, and of course New Zealand as a region to build Financial Service Providers. I also have been focused on buying and selling PSPs, FSPs, MSBs, EMIs, Banks, etc so if you have a company for sale, you must let me know, I have buyers. WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR PSPs For Sale by the way.

The Fintech market has been growing in leaps and bounds, and the onset of AI has also been driving the growth, but what is the best markets to build the companies in.

THIS IS WHY I CHOSE TO OPEN YOUR EYES TO NEW ZEALAND.

New Zealand is an attractive market for payment service providers (PSPs) for several reasons:

1. High Digital Adoption: New Zealand has a tech-savvy population with high internet and smartphone penetration rates. This makes digital payment services easy to adopt, as people are accustomed to online and mobile banking and other digital services.

2. Growing E-commerce Sector: E-commerce in New Zealand has been expanding rapidly, with local businesses and consumers increasingly relying on digital platforms. This creates demand for efficient and secure payment solutions that support online transactions.

3. Stable and Business-Friendly Economy: New Zealand is known for its stable economy, transparent regulations, and pro-business environment. The country ranks high in ease of doing business, which is advantageous for payment companies looking to establish a foothold in the region.

4. Favorable Regulatory Environment: New Zealand has a relatively progressive regulatory landscape for fintech and payments. The government and regulatory bodies, such as the Financial Markets Authority (FMA), are open to innovation, which helps PSPs navigate compliance without overly restrictive barriers.

5. Cross-Border Opportunities: Positioned as a gateway to Asia-Pacific, New Zealand provides access to nearby economies, including Australia and Southeast Asia. Many companies expand into New Zealand as part of a broader regional strategy, facilitating partnerships and cross-border transactions. In addition, many companies choose New Zealand to set up a Financial Service Provider for non- New Zealand residents, which is like a Bank structure offshore in New Zealand. We will discuss this further below.

6. Innovation-Friendly Financial Sector: New Zealand’s banks and financial institutions are generally open to collaborating with fintech companies, especially in payment solutions. This willingness to integrate with external service providers enhances PSPs’ ability to scale and integrate into the financial ecosystem.

7. Consumer Trust in Digital Payments: New Zealand consumers increasingly trust digital and mobile payments, driven in part by the robust data privacy and security standards. PSPs that prioritize security and convenience are well-positioned to succeed.

8. Government Support for Fintech Growth: New Zealand’s government actively promotes fintech innovation through funding initiatives and collaborations with private sector players. This support creates a nurturing environment for payment service providers to innovate and grow.

In addition to the local benefits, there is a specific type of company unique to New Zealand called a Financial Service Provider (FSP). An FSP adapts itself ideally to the Fintech World, and it has all the services of a Bank and PSP, in a great jurisdiction, without needing the massive capital requirements.

These services can be expanded to include the following and are not limited at all to just these items. The New Zealand FSP company can add at anytime the following services ideal for a PSP:

·         Issuing and managing a means of payment

·         Operating a money or value transfer service

·         Giving financial guarantees

·         Changing foreign currency

·         Trading financial products or foreign exchange on behalf of other persons

·         Keeping, investing, administering, or managing money, securities, or investment portfolios on behalf of other persons

·         Wholesale and/or generic financial adviser services

·         Broking service (including a custodial service)

·         Custody

Proposed Financial Activities Of A Crypto Currency Company and Exchange and Whether it Can Be Done In New Zealand as a Registered FSP

The proposed business of the FSP may include:

1.    Receipt of fiat and cryptocurrencies and crypto assets (“assets”) from clients,

2.    Holding such assets as client money or client property in trust for, and on behalf of, clients,

3.    Receipt of investment returns, dividends, and other proceeds arising from client assets, and holding such proceeds as client money or client property in trust for, and on behalf of, clients,

4.    Transfer of client money or client property in fulfilment of client orders, including for the purchase of, or subscriptions for, financial products sold by or issued by other parties (not the FSP),

5.    An example of the financial activities that could be facilitated would be the receipt of assets from clients, in the form of fiat or cryptocurrencies, holding those funds as client money or client property, transferring those funds to a promoter or issuer, who will issue or sell interests in a fund, scheme or entity that owns, operates or rents out computer servers, which generate revenue and incur expenses in mining cryptocurrencies or adding blocks to a blockchain. Under this example, the FSP would not be establishing or operating the fund, scheme or entity, but would be facilitating client investments in, holdings of, disposals of, and distributions from, such funds, schemes or entities.

Questions the opinion is to address

This opinion addresses the regulatory and financial services and banking licencing, registration, and authorisation in New Zealand, required for the proposed provision of the services by the FSP:

1. Can the FSP lawfully provide the services of receiving and holding assets in the nature of cryptocurrencies and crypto assets as well as fiat currencies and traditional financial assets, from, for, on behalf of, and in trust for clients, according to the laws of New Zealand, and from a New Zealand business location?

1.1. Can these client money or property services be provided to:

1.1.1. New Zealand retail investors or retail clients

1.1.2. New Zealand wholesale investors or wholesale clients

1.1.3. Non-New Zealand retail investors or retail clients

1.1.4. Non-New Zealand wholesale investors or wholesale clients.

2.   Can the FSP lawfully provide the services of receiving assets, revenue and proceeds from the issuers or purchasers of such client money or client property, according to the laws of New Zealand, and from a New Zealand business location?

3. Can the FSP lawfully provide the services of sending or transferring client money or client property to third parties, or to other locations, upon the instructions of clients or clients’ authorised delegates or agents, according to the laws of New Zealand, and from a New Zealand business location?

4.   Can the FSP undertake the kind of activity of facilitating client investment in a crypto mining operation, as described?

Relevant definitions and concepts

5. The service of receiving and holding assets may be regulated in New Zealand as a “client money or property service.” The service is defined in s 431W Of the FMCA as:

A client money or property service—

(a)

is the receipt of client money or client property by a person and the holding, payment, or transfer of that client money or client property; and

(b)

includes a custodial service.

6.   Client money is defined as:

client money means money—

(a)

received in connection with acquiring, holding, or disposing of a financial advice product or otherwise in connection with a financial advice product; and

(b)

received from, or on account of, a client by a person (A) (and not on A’s own

account)

7.   Client property is defined as:

client property means property (other than money) to which the following apply:

(a) the property is a financial advice product, is a beneficial interest in a financial advice product, or is received in connection with a financial advice product; and

(b) the property is received from, or on account of, the client by a person (A) (and not

on A’s own account)

8.   A financial advice product is defined in s 6 of the FMCA as:

financial advice product means—

(a) a financial product (as defined in section 7); or

(b) a DIMS facility; or

(c) a contract of insurance; or

(d) a consumer credit contract; or

(e) any other product declared by the regulations to be a financial advice product; or

(f) a renewal or variation of the terms or conditions of an existing financial advice product

Analysis

9. A crypto-asset may or may not be a “financial product” under s 7 of the FMCA depending on its characteristics. For example:

9.1. If the crypto-asset is a representation of a right to a commodity such as a Kg of wheat, held in storage by or for the issuer or for the holders of the crypto-asset, arguably it is not a debt security (since wheat is not “money” and a debt security is a right to be repaid money that has been lent to or deposited with or is owing by someone).1

9.2. a stablecoin issued by an issuer who promises to repay **money is a debt security and therefore a financial product.

10. A custodial service is also defined as in terms of holding a financial advice product in trust for a client.

** “Money” is defined to include “money’s worth” however this extention does not apply to the definitions of debt security, investor money and investor property, see s 6, FMCA. So, a debt security is strictly a right to be repaid money and not the right to be paid a non-money commodity, or an ownership interest in a non-money commodity.

11. Inasmuch as the crypto assets that the FSP holds or handles in this way are not financial products (and not financial advice products), the service is not regulated by the FMCA (and also requires no licence or authorisation in New Zealand) however, it is best to register as an FSP and as providing a financial service than be accused of not being registered.

12. Inasmuch as the crypto-assets that the FSP holds or handles in this way are financial products, the FMCA states:

(1)

This subpart and other legislation regulate client money or property services as follows:

(a)

the Financial Service Providers (Registration and Dispute Resolution) Act 2008 provides for when a person in the business of providing the service must be registered under that Act and when that provider must be a member of an approved dispute resolution scheme. The provider is not required to hold a market services licence:

(b)

a person who provides the service must—

(i) disclose information to retail clients under section 431X; and

(ii) exercise care, diligence, and skill under section 431ZA; and

(iii) handle client money and property in accordance with sections 431ZC to 431ZH, including holding the money or property on trust (if those duties apply under section 431Z(2)):

(c) section 431ZI sets out who is responsible if those duties are contravened.

13. Accordingly, the registered FSP that the client is considering acquiring, can provide the services in connection with crypto-assets and fiat money without being required to hold any other licence or authorisation in New Zealand.

14. The regulation summarised above of client money or property service applies to services received by a client or an investor in New Zealand, regardless of where the person providing the service is resident, incorporated or carries on business (s 387, FMCA).

15. The FSP is free, under New Zealand law, to provide the same services to clients outside New Zealand, noting that foreign financial services and financial products laws may apply to the provider depending on the locations of the clients, and the location of the FSP and/or its assets and operations.

16. In summary, the services may be provided:

16.1.    In respect of crypto-assets and fiat money and other traditional financial assets that are financial products, and those that are not financial products, and

16.2.    To clients that are New Zealand retail clients or investors (noting that additional disclosure and conduct requirements apply to the way the service is provided), and

16.3.    To clients that are New Zealand wholesale clients or investors (noting that some conduct requirements apply to the way the service is provided), and

16.4.    To clients that are non-New Zealand clients or investors, both retail and wholesale, (noting that some conduct requirements apply to the way the service is provided).

17. A registered FSP may also provide the services of issuing e-money and transferring money or value without any further authorisation or licence.

18.  However, the issuing of e-money to New Zealand retail clients or investors may constitute the making of a regulated offer of a financial product, which is a debt security, and which may require a licence or Product Disclosure Statement under the FMCA and the Non-bank Deposit Takers Act 2013 respectively. Rather than issuing such a financial product, the FSP may wish to hold client money in trust for New Zealand retail clients, as a regulated client money or property service, as discussed above, which is not a regulated offer of a financial product and does not require a licence or authorisation.

19.  An FSP is restricted from receiving client money or property for the acquisition of a contravening product, when the provider knows, or ought reasonably to know, that the product is a contravening product (s 431ZB, FMCA). This primarily applies to New Zealand retail investors who would be investing in regulated offers, and only those that contravene the FMCA or the regulations under it.

20.  Subject to the above, the FSP can receive and pass on client money from investors to the promoters or operators of a crypto-mining operation, as part of a client money or property service. It can also receive, in respect of those client investments, the returns or proceeds, and hold them as client money or property. No separate licence or authorisation is required.

Conclusion

21.  A registered FSP is able to provide the scope of services detailed above, without requiring any further licencing or authorisation in New Zealand, and the service may be provided to clients both in New Zealand and outside New Zealand, both wholesale investors or wholesale clients, and retail investors or retail clients.

New Zealand is a great place to run a crypto company for several reasons:

1. Progressive Regulatory Environment: New Zealand is known for its supportive yet clear regulatory approach to financial and technological innovation. The Financial Markets Authority (FMA) has provided guidance on how cryptocurrency businesses should operate within the country, offering clarity that helps companies navigate compliance effectively. This reduces regulatory uncertainty, which is beneficial for crypto businesses looking for stable ground to build on.

2. Blockchain-Friendly Ecosystem: New Zealand has a growing blockchain ecosystem, with various blockchain associations and educational resources supporting industry growth. Universities and tech hubs are increasingly incorporating blockchain into their programs, helping create a knowledgeable workforce ready to support crypto companies.

3. Favorable Business Climate: New Zealand ranks highly for ease of doing business, often placing in the top rankings globally. This includes simplified procedures for starting a business, low levels of corruption, and supportive government initiatives for startups and tech companies. This makes it easier for crypto firms to set up and operate efficiently.

4. Innovation-Driven Culture: The country has a culture of embracing innovation and entrepreneurship. With a history of tech startups and government-backed programs to support tech-based companies, New Zealand provides an environment that encourages creativity and fosters innovative solutions in the cryptocurrency space.

5. Tax Benefits for Crypto Companies: The New Zealand government has introduced a crypto-friendly tax framework that includes benefits for certain types of crypto transactions. Cryptocurrencies are treated as property, not currency, allowing for some tax flexibility. In 2020, New Zealand also became one of the first countries to allow cryptocurrency salaries, further reinforcing its open approach to crypto.

6. High-Quality Infrastructure and Connectivity: New Zealand has excellent internet infrastructure and connectivity, which is essential for running a blockchain or cryptocurrency business. With advanced digital networks, crypto companies can ensure seamless transactions, high security, and reliable user experiences.

7. Access to Talent: The country attracts tech talent from around the world due to its high quality of life, scenic beauty, and work-life balance. New Zealand’s growing tech sector, combined with immigration programs that welcome skilled workers, allows crypto companies to access top talent locally and internationally.

8. Reputation for Trust and Security: New Zealand’s reputation as a trustworthy and secure country is an asset for crypto companies. Investors and clients are more likely to feel confident engaging with a business in a jurisdiction known for its stability, transparency, and commitment to security.

9. Sustainability and Green Energy: Many blockchain and crypto projects are looking for eco-friendly ways to operate, especially as the industry faces criticism for energy consumption. New Zealand’s commitment to renewable energy sources and sustainability aligns with the goals of environmentally-conscious blockchain projects, providing a foundation for responsible crypto operations.

These factors combined make New Zealand an attractive and strategic location for launching and operating a crypto company, especially for businesses prioritizing regulatory clarity, innovation, and sustainability.

Australian Companies Primary and Dual Listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange?

Do you want to take your company public on a European Stock Exchange? There are many different providers in the marketplace but most of them ask for exorbitant upfront fees. You will find so-called German Stock exchange listings specialists and sponsors in Dubai, UK, Switzerland, Germany, even Australia and Canada, but for the most part they overcharge upfront and take months and months to list your company.

A Primary Listing generally will cost under EUR 100,000, however, the minimum Sponsor upfront cost should be EUR 20,000 and all other expenses should be paid out invoice by invoice directly from the private company wanting to list their shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

A Dual Listing of an existing ASX or NSX company should be no more than EUR 10,000 upfront fee, which would be your total cost of Dual listing your firm.

Therefore you can dual list for only EUR 10,000 and start a primary listing process with a commitment of only EUR 20,000.

For a proposal for your company, contact Ryan@Businesslistingsgroup.com. Our consortium at FSE Listings Inc has listed more companies than any other provider on the market (over 1,000).

Australian Stock Exchange not worried about German shift

The ASX does not think there has been a drift by Australian companies from the ASX to Frankfurt but admits it needs to do more to attract small to mid-cap companies to list. However with listings costs starting at EUR 20,000 for new companies listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, the Australian Stock Exchange should be nervous, when the average listings cost on the Australian and NSX markets including the sponsor brokers, listings costs, and reporting requirements is costly for new companies who simply want a listing in a reputable stock market. (AUD 300,000+ and costly reporting requirements)

Richard Murphy,  general manager of capital markets at the ASX, said the number of Australian companies listed in Frankfurt did not represent a drift from the ASX to Frankfurt as the majority of the Australian companies listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange had not sought a listing there. (Source: SmartMoney)

“They are not actual listings on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, what has actually been happening is that [the exchange] just started quoting stocks and they simply put them up,” says Murphy. “Frankfurt has been marketing over here as has the Munich Stock Exchange more aggressively.”

What he is referring to is the dual listing of Australian Stocks on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, which only costs EUR 10,000 to complete. (www.businesslistingsgroup.com)

“The theme all around the world is that companies of every size are being traded all over the world in very different ways,” says Murphy.

“We have decided many times not to set up an entry board or an alternative investment market,  nobody wants it as you are looking for trouble down the line by setting it up.

Murphy acknowledged that there were often liquidity issues for smaller and mid-size companies listing on the ASX.

The Frankfurt Stock Exchange offers that opportunity to create liquidity by dual listing the ASX listed company on the Frankfurt Exchange. Or new companies looking to list can make their primary listing in Frankfurt versus Australia, lowering their costs, listing requirements, and providing less liquidity issues that are seen in the ASX and NSX markets. The ASX has no intention to market to the SME market as stated, Murphy defended the ASX’s decision not to open a second listing board saying companies had said they liked a single, high profile, high quality board where everyone must comply with minimum standards. This decision has put out of reach listing for many small and medium companies, therefore, these Australian firms should realistically be looking to Frankfurt to arbitrage the decision of their local market for the least cost, most viable, liquid market of Frankfurt.

There is a clear advantage of Australian Companies listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, most of the small businesses in Australia are very small and have a small number of shares on issue which are tightly held by the people that started that company. The people who have invested are like venture capital investors, who have grown the mining company, fintech company, medical firm, and business to a certain size that they would like to raise more capital or create a liquidity event by going public. The requirements of 400 shareholders, and costs of listing in Australia do not offer an easy answer, but the Frankfurt Stock Exchange encourages these businesses, with a huge appetite historically for Australian based companies.

In comparison to the NSXA and BSX, who have been shunned by business owners such as Morffew who say there is “no liquidity whatsoever” on the secondary boards, the Frankfurt boasts one of the most liquid markets in the World. (Listing fees starting at EUR 20,000 with www.businesslistingsgroup.com, the leading listing group for Frankfurt listings under their wholly owned brand name www.FSEListings.com)

Emlyn Scott, chief executive of the NSXA, concedes a lack of liquidity is an issue for the exchange and one he is seeking to address six months into his role as chief executive. He claims the ASX has similar liquidity concerns, saying “liquidity down the bottom end of the ASX is a very long tail”. Scott says it is “astonishing” to hear of the number of Australian companies listing on the Frankfurt stock exchange. “We want to be the best listing exchange, we need to provide good secondary trading but to do that we need to aggregate our companies to encourage them to trade on other markets.” (Source SmartMoney)

With those words of encouragement to dual list ASX, NSXA, and BSX Australian Dual listings on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, it is no wonder Australians are rushing to the Frankfurt market.

Ideal for mining companies, Fintech, Financial Services, Software, Medical, Recruitment, Property/Development, farming, Pharmaceutical, Energy, and most industries. With over 800 Australian companies having sought dual listings, the formula is no secret to those who know they need a dual listing in Frankfurt. Dual Listings start at EUR 10,000, of which professional public relations work can be sourced and budgeted for primary goals of the company through

About Gaining Long Term Investors from Europe

European investors tend to invest and hold their shares for a minimum of 1 year on average, which is a very attractive “suppy” and “demand” proposition for a public company which has a limited supply of shares to trade in the market (Issued Public Float). Therefore, this adds to both price stability, and maintaining solid value in the company.

“They very much take a long-term strategic view on investments. They’re not traders. Once they invest, they’re very sticky. They’re interested to know what the strategy is, what the long-term play is” says Luke Reinehr, CEO and chairman of Kalamazoo Resources.

In the first half of this year, Frankfurt OTC transactions involving Australian shares totalled just under €150 million ($247 million). Considering the market, this is a great opportunity for Australian Companies, as this is EUR 150 million likely out of their float for up to 1 year.

“If the market is correcting in the mining sector, the Canadians and Australians will sell first and the Europeans will hang onto their shares because of their mentality – they are long-term investors,” says Wolfgang Seybold, chairman of German investment and investor relations firm Axino.

If you Build it will they Come?

As a Business Listings Professional and owner of www.stockexchangelistings.com, www.asxlistings.com, www.fselistings.com, www.businesslistingsgroup.com, and many more sites with over 20 million viewers per month and a European database of over 3 million investors, we understand what it means to get seen as a company and what that means to your listing on the stock exchange.

If Australians really want to attract German investors and bolster their shareholder base with long term investors from Europe, it is not enough to just “have a broker” to “make the market” in the stock as a Market Maker.

Ryan Gibson of Business Listings Group Ltd in the London, New York, Frankfurt, Johannesburg, Perth, and Toronto Canada states, “Companies will come to us and expect for EUR 10,000 dual listing of their Australian companies, that just by dual listing the investors will find them. As I explain to companies, when you go public it is like you are running two businesses, one is the day to day operations of your regular company, selling that product or service, and the other company you run is the Public company, which involves your strategy to bring value to your shares and shareholders, and selling and marketing the stock listed on the exchange. They are dependent upon each other, but they are both full time jobs, and every CEO must be prepared for this and budget appropriately.

Ryan Gibson, a Stock Exchange Listings specialist for over 20 years mentioned that the budget of such marketing could be 20,000 euro for a month, 50,000 euro for 3 months, or maybe it’s the minimum amount of 5,000 euro per month simply to keep eyeballs and press. However, it must be budgeted for the best result for the company, or they will have the same fate of just listing on their home NSXA, BSX, or ASX illiquid markets. (www.businesslistingsgroup.com)

“What you find with a lot of Australian companies is, they just get the dual listing and then they think investors will find them,” says Matthew Reynolds, a Frankfurt-based Australian with German advisory firm DGWA. “Basically they don’t: unless you get out and engage with the German stockholders and the media, then investors are not even going to look twice at a company.”

Charles Van Musscher, www.businesslistingsgroup.com, also says that a roadshow has always been a very important part of engaging with investors in the German market, and is something most Australian companies need to be prepared for. With Corona-Virus now a part of our daily life, strategies for online roadshows, investors meetings on Zoom, and virtual introductions needs to suffice until CEO’s and their teams can take a flight into Europe.

“I have done a fair bit of marketing in Germany and Switzerland, because there was interest in that part of the world in what we’re doing,” says Keith Coughlan, executive chairman of lithium miner European Metals Holdings.

Reinehr agrees: “You’ve got to go and press the flesh and speak to potential investors. We have relationships in Germany, we do regular online interviews, we get our ASX announcements translated.”

Stefan Müller, DGWA’s CEO, says the culture of approaching German investors differs from that in Australia.

Growing numbers of Australian businesses are listing on overseas stock exchanges, with the Frankfurt Stock Exchange proving to be one of the international exchanges of choice.

As people know, our firm has been one of the most active companies for listing shares and bonds globally. We also have worked with asset holders for the creation of Safe Keeping Receipts which firms intend on utilizing for trading or leverage of the assets for loans and the release of capital called Monetization. Generally the process of creating an SKR includes:

• Creation of a securitization vehicle, registration with an ISIN of the certificates of beneficial ownership, trust indenture, and deposit with a Bank
• Sending the message via Swift MT 799 or Swift MT 760 to the receiving Bank for the monetization or loan against the underlying assets of the SKR

The average cost of this process is 25,000 GBP for the formation and securitization that creates the SKR, and anywhere between 50,000 – 100,000 euro for the Swift message of the blocked funds or assets held by the financial institution. One of the pitfalls of this process, is the cost of the Swift is every time you intend on working with a co-responding Bank for monetization, your take on the Swift costs and await the transaction to be accepted or completed by the receiving Bank.

If you are looking for an SKR you can always apply at www.safekeepingreceipts.com

How do we solve this problem with Cyprus Stock Exchange Listings?

The Cyprus market allows for us to create a low-tax structure that ends up being the company that your assets are securitized into. The securitized assets are placed in trust with the Cyprus company. The Cyprus company, through our list of trustees and relationship with the Cyprus stock exchange, allow for the securitization company to issue Bonds as a private company onto the Cyprus Stock Exchange with the registrar and trustee managing the process through our firm. Naturally, the Bond has an ISIN number and can clear into any brokerage house or Bank globally through direct transfer via the clearing and settlement of the Bond. You as the Bond holder can deposit the bonds within a brokerage account we will set-up for you, and then transfer the bonds to the purchasing party. The bonds can be used directly for loans, leverage, and or for sale to financial institutions as a listed bond versus going through the process of sending Swift messages which are costly for deals that do not get financed. In addition, there are secondary markets such as the European Wholesale Debt market and Frankfurt 2nd Quotation board, creating liquidity and an immediate market for your otherwise illiquid assets.

The Cyprus securitization structure, clearing and settlement, registrar, brokerage account, company, listing, nomads sponsorship fees, tax advice, legal advice, and monetization consulting ends up costing no more than 60,000 euro. With the ease and ability to transfer the security, the cost ends up being half the overall fees generally incurred from an SKR, which has no secondary liquid market accept for private trading platforms, which are generally long and arduous processes to access. Therefore, the Bond structure that we have developed is clearly a winner for people trying to leverage assets, monetize illiquid assets, or who want to use their assets without putting them at risk or diluted from equity investment.

If you are interested in turning your assets into debt instruments that can be monetized, you should be considering our packaged Bond listing.

*Please note one of the hidden benefits of the Cyprus Bond structure we have developed is that when you sell the Bonds and make profit from the capital, it is done so directly through a low tax zone versus a higher tax zone like the UK, Canada, US, etc. In addition, Cyprus is not an offshore jurisdiction, it is a low-tax jurisdiction, which means you are the owner of the business do not have to would that if you live in a region that requires disclosure of offshore jurisdiction companies or may not be permitted by your region, this is acceptable to your tax departments via specific treaties that enable its use.

We do not give Tax or Legal advice, however, we have partnered with a Tax Auditor and Advisor with over 6,000 companies within this region who trust their advice and structures. You can contact us and become one of those many firms that globally are taking advantage of one of the most intelligent structures there is for your business.

(And now the Cyprus Stock Exchange.)

The Cyprus Stock Exchange presents an amazing opportunity for listing a company on a public market, with all the benefits of a recognized listing on a stock exchange with low-cost regulatory requirements. We welcome the opportunity to work with you on the Cyprus Markets Listings of your firm.

Emerging Companies Market

On September 15 2009 the Cyprus Stock Exchange adopted Regulative Decision 326/2009, which governs the Emerging Companies Market. The Emerging Companies Market is a new financial market in Cyprus which is considered to be unregulated and does not come under the mandatory provisions applicable to regulated markets. Such provisions impose strict listing requirements and continuous reporting obligations on listed companies. The Emerging Companies Market is a multilateral trading facility that operates in accordance with the regulative decisions adopted by the Cyprus Stock Exchange, which will be exclusively responsible for setting the listing requirements and continuous obligations of issuers and directors, as well as any penalties to be imposed for rule violations.

The Emerging Companies Market creates new dimensions in the Cypriot financial world by offering numerous opportunities – for example, it:

• establishes an alternative method for securing finance at competitive costs that is raised by unlisted companies through simpler procedures than those for raising finance in a regulated market;
• creates increased awareness, recognition and prestige for listed companies; and
• increases investment sectors and opportunities for investors.

The Emerging Companies Market of the Cyprus Stock Exchange (ECM) is very similar to what the AIM is for the London Stock Exchange, but with the added advantages that it has very relaxed listing rules.

For example, in this market, there is

• no requirement for daily volume (hence no fictitious trades needed)
• no maximum ownership rule and (hence no need to do illegal stock parking)
• no minimum market capitalization criteria (even if value drops, no risk of de-listing)
• The whole listing process takes 6 weeks to complete, with 4 weeks of preparation work with advisors, and 2 weeks listing approvals and due diligence by the exchange.

Using the ECM/CSE to your best advantage

A listed company on the ECM/CSE is ideal for beneficial owners to:

• Allow pension and other regulated funds such as UCITS to invest in your listed titles (shares or bonds) as they can only invest in listed titles trading on recognized and regulated stock exchange,
• Use idle funds that need a justification to tax authorities before repatriation to home country to invest in various projects,

Have the share registry maintained electronically by the Cyprus Stock Exchange

Acquire other companies, listed or private, operating anywhere in the world either by cash or through share issue/swap to bring those companies under the control of the Cyprus holding PLC on the valuation suitable to beneficial owners so that there are no tax implications at the other end,

• Lend money to own entities operating in home country from Cyprus
• Issue shares to raise money from other investors
• Issue debt or bonds which can subsequently be listed on the CSE
• For new startups, a public company is formed with 10-12 shareholders, all of whom can be nominees and together with a business plan and 3-year financial forecasts, then list the shares on the ECM/CSE.

IFXBG Limited has a method to make sure that the UBO controls all the shares of the nominee shareholders, thus making sure that not even one share falls into wrong hands.
A listed company will require minimum 3 Directors, with 1 Director Executive to be responsible for the day-to-day affairs of the company. The other 2 can be non-executive directors.

All decisions are made by the Board who is answerable to shareholders once a year at the AGM.
Shareholders can vote through proxies at the AGM. The CSE maintains the Share Registry in electronic format. The CSE will also provide the ISIN code, available through Bloomberg/Reuters and closing prices are updated daily on the CSE’s web site, which is also available in English.
The CV, educational and business background of all directors will need to be provided to the CSE and is open for public scrutiny.

Every listed company on the ECM needs to appoint an approved by the Cyprus Stock Exchange Nominated Advisor (Nomad) which will be responsible for the company’s listing.

FSE Listings and IFXBG Limited is partnered with two of the largest approved Nomads and offers a complete solution including finding the professionals to register the public company, prepare the Admission Document, pass the application through the CSE and manage the timeframe of the acting company’s Nomad, solving delays and problems before they happen.

The company also needs to have registered office, legal advisor, auditor, and reveal the banks where it has a relationship.

Listing conditions

In accordance with Regulative Decision 326/2009, the key conditions for listing on the Emerging Companies Market are as follows:

The issuer must have readily available audited accounts and must be able to prove that it carried on its ordinary activities for at least two years before its application. Newly established companies can also be listed if the Cyprus Stock Exchange Council is satisfied that future shareholders are given satisfactory information in order to assess properly the value of the titles.

Throughout the flotation procedure, the issuer must have a nominated adviser (ie, a lawyer and auditor who is authorized to act as a nominated adviser by the Cyprus Stock Exchange).
The issuer must be registered as a public limited liability company. There are no minimum market capitalization or shareholder equity criteria.

Listing methods

Regulative Decision 326/2009 provides for the following three methods of effecting a listing:

initial public offering – this should aim to raise at least €2.5 million and should be addressed to over 100 persons; a prospectus will be required in such case;

private placement – this should be addressed to institutional investors or to fewer than 100 persons, and the capital to be raised must be less than €2.5 million; an admission document (a simpler version of a prospectus) must be submitted to the Cyprus Stock Exchange; or
a combination of the two above-mentioned methods.

Private placement of shares

Before the company is listed, it can organize a private placement of shares and raise money. There is no limitation on the amount raised, but if the shares are issued at a premium, then this needs to be justified to the CSE.

Once the private placement is completed, we shall then simply list the shares on the CSE. There is no requirement to hold an IPO. Existing shares are simply listed.

IPO
If the listed company wishes to hold an Initial Public Offering (IPO) after its application is approved, then it may do so but up to EUR 2.5 mln under simplified procedures.

If the amount of the IPO is above EUR 2.5 mln or the issue will be made to more than 100 investors, then the company needs to prepare a prospectus and submit it to the Cyprus Securities & Exchange Commission for approval before it can proceed.

Otherwise, if the IPO is below EUR 2.5 mln or under 100 investors, it will do so under simplified listing procedures and by submitting the Admission Document only.

Documentation

An issuer seeking to float securities on the Emerging Companies Market must submit the following documents:

• a completed application form as determined by the Cyprus Stock Exchange;
• an admission document containing information about;
• the background of the issuer and the issue;
• the business plan;
• the board members and shareholders;
• the associated business risks; and
