Accessible Offshore Solution for Brokerage Projects
Comoros is an offshore jurisdiction increasingly used by forex and CFD projects seeking a simplified regulatory entry point. The licensing framework allows brokers to operate internationally with relatively low setup costs and flexible operational requirements.
A Comoros forex license is typically chosen by startups, emerging brokerage platforms, and projects focused on non-EU markets that require a faster and more affordable licensing route.
Regulatory Framework in Comoros
Forex and brokerage activities in Comoros are regulated under the International Business Companies framework and supervised by the local financial authorities responsible for offshore financial services.
The regulatory model is lighter compared to onshore jurisdictions, with a focus on registration, basic compliance controls, and ongoing administrative maintenance rather than intensive prudential supervision.
Licensed entities usually operate as international brokerage companies providing services to clients outside Comoros.
Permitted Activities
A Comoros forex license generally allows companies to carry out the following activities:
Forex trading and brokerage services
CFD and derivative trading
Cryptocurrency-related trading services (subject to structure)
Asset and investment management services for international clients
Operation of online trading platforms
The final scope of activities depends on the company’s declared business model and internal policies submitted during setup.
