Turnkey company formation

Company formation is a necessary and administratively demanding process that requires a sophisticated solution that takes into account all the needs of the future project. Each legal entity must fully meet the expectations of the shareholders while providing the best conditions for the smooth operation of the business. A well-functioning business concept is undoubtedly the goal of every entrepreneur, which is why the Ebisu team emphasizes an individual approach to each customer.

Don't waste your valuable time dealing with the administrative hurdles associated with setting up a new legal entity. Take advantage of the experience of our team of professionals who will advise you on the appropriate way of doing business and establish a company according to your needs. Thanks to our many years of experience, we provide company formation and administration in more than 70 countries.

Our strengths include the actual registration of a legal entity, securing a registered office, bookkeeping, trademark registration, setting up a bank account and obtaining authorization for specialized business activities such as banking licenses, qualified investor funds or B2C or B2B gambling licenses.

Gambling licences

Today, the gambling industry environment is undergoing revolutionary changes. A number of states are introducing strict regulatory requirements for all those involved in the gambling business. First and foremost is the granting of B2C and B2B licenses, followed by the obligation to properly certify each game with the relevant authorized body.

As a result of these changes, new legal requirements are imposed on all participants in this regulated market. From our point of view, this is a diverse piece of legislation that requires a precise solution tailored to the needs of all those interested in actively participating in the entertainment and gaming market. With our hands-on experience gained from working with government regulators in over 100 jurisdictions, we can confidently say that we are prepared to provide the highest level of service to the satisfaction of our customers.

What we emphasize

  • Compliance - helps you grow your business by providing unrivalled insight into new markets, products and opportunities.
  • Technical Compliance - we minimise risk and identify potential regulatory issues with our unrivalled industry knowledge and assess your processes against best practice standards.
  • End-to-end testing - our comprehensive suite of IT testing and security services includes pre-testing, test and review, auditing and certification of your products.
  • Compliance throughout the lifecycle - We help you maintain and understand your ongoing compliance obligations.

Legal and Compliance Management (LCM)

Legal Compliance - Compliance with legal standards in the gambling industry is increasingly challenging due to the ever-changing regulations and requirements of various government agencies. Our solution is to set up the company's processes to comply with legal standards, along with the ability to flexibly change parameters in light of rule changes. The goal is for the company to be able to always demonstrate 100% compliance with applicable standards.

Compliance and money laundering - The gambling business is prone to money laundering cases. The general international standard is to prevent such cases as much as possible, which applies not only to gambling regulators but also to banks, financial institutions and the state itself. In our case, we help our clients to set up their internal processes correctly so that they meet AML criteria and at the same time do not restrict business activities.

Legal advice - many of those interested in participating in the gambling market are aware of the need to properly regulate their own business. Different jurisdictions around the world offer their own legal solutions, where the right recipe can be chosen for each company to take advantage of the international benefits of their respective markets, and this is the added value of our advice, allowing everyone to take full advantage of the legal benefits across continents.

Internal policies and internal policy systems - currently, regulators require a clear declaration of a company's internal policies and principles, including information security, KYC, Due Diligence and many other aspects that are mandatory for gambling companies. Based on our experience, a similar internal declaration in the form of a company policy can give you greater credibility in the eyes of banks and other financial institutions that provide you with financial flows.

Certification of online games and other SW products

This is a very specific area of regulatory requirements. Currently, each regulated jurisdiction requires a certain technical level of online gaming. There are many reasons for this, in particular the policy of protecting players, compliance with moral principles and the laws of the country. Very often, online game suppliers are faced with the problem of successfully completing the certification process with a testing laboratory and an inspection body in order for the game to be certified in accordance with the required standards of the regulatory authorities. In practice, a situation may arise where a supplier may have a B2B licence but cannot fully supply its own games because it is unable to demonstrate the technical quality of its production; unfortunately, it is often the case that an unprepared supplier spends several additional months on the certification of each individual game.

In this context, we offer our own hands-on experience of the process of testing and certifying online games with reputable testing labs that are authorized by the regulatory authorities of each jurisdiction. We are happy to advise you on how to properly set up your game concept to meet technical and legal requirements. We work with our partners at authorized Testing Labs to ensure a smooth peer-to-peer process and help you obtain game certifications that allow you to deliver online games to regulated markets.

The proper and smooth flow of funds is like blood in the human body and must not be stopped or polluted.

Bank Compliance - we know from our own experience how challenging it can be to set up proper communication with compliance representatives on the bank or financial institution side. Your correct answers to questions received can often lead to effective resolution of already blocked or delayed payments. This service allows you to understand the meaning of each Compliance request and confidently resolve any incident.

Blocked funds - The entertainment and gambling business is considered a high-risk business from a financial sector perspective. It is very common for funds to be blocked indefinitely and a number of questions are asked, which if answered incorrectly can lead to the confiscation of funds or the blocking of company or personal funds for an extended period of time. We know from experience that there is a specific legal solution that will ensure appropriate and professional communication with Compliance Bank or state regulatory authority representatives and lead to unblocking of funds in the shortest possible time.
