The application process for licence is quite
simple as we would register a new company and apply for licence for that
company, there are no forms that you prepare since this licence is for a
offshore company therefore the government or the register never get's the names
of the client and the licence is issued in the name of the company.

(dollars) for the first year and US$25,000 annually there after.
The procedures is as follows;

of the company (only one director needed)

issued to (company is registered with 50,000 thousand shares)
-You can then fax a notarized copy of the
letter of reference and passport and send originals by courier
-Then you must send a deposit of $20,000 which
is placed in an escrow for due diligence. When the due diligence is completed
and approved (due diligence 5 days) you must then send the balance of $20,000
