Frequently asked questions
Do I need a physical office?
It depends on the activity and licence requirements; some operating models require designated premises.
Is a local shareholder always required?
Ownership rules vary by activity and legal form; they must be checked with the relevant authority.
Can LW Global promise an approval date?
No. Issuance is controlled by authorities and depends on a complete, eligible application.
