How our experts help with licensing

Expertise that fits your needs

Our team has wide experience of obtaining Currency Exchange Operator (CEO) licences and has taken countless businesses through a complex web of rules. We know Lithuanian financial regulation and international best practice in depth, so your application meets every requirement.

The financial side, covered

Legal expertise is only part of what we bring. We also work through the financial side of your application: we write a convincing business plan and make sure the financial statements show your stability and sustainability accurately. Looking at the whole picture makes the application stronger and shows that you are ready to operate in the market.

AML compliance without gaps

Every financial institution has to get Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance right. We carefully build and put in place a robust AML programme designed around your operations, in line with Lithuanian regulations and international standards alike. It protects your business and marks you out as a responsible market player.

Efficiency comes first

We know you want to enter the market soon. Our process is streamlined, so your application is ready within 2-3 weeks, with as few delays as possible and a faster launch for your business.

Clear communication at every step

From the first consultation until the licence is approved, we keep in touch clearly and consistently: you hear about progress, your concerns are answered and the whole process stays transparent.

A partner for the long term

Our legal support continues after the licence: we help you with operational challenges, represent you in dealings with the regulators and help keep your compliance maintained and up to date. Your business runs smoothly and stays compliant while the regulations keep changing.

Further services for your business

  • Company formation and registration: We can help set up your legal entity in Lithuania in line with every rule on forming companies.
  • Taxation advice: We guide you through the Lithuanian tax system and help you optimise your tax position.
  • Employment law support: We make sure the way you employ people complies with Lithuanian labour law and best practice.

There is no need to face the complexities of a CEO licence on your own. Work with Nimius Advisory, and our expertise will help you obtain your licence efficiently and with confidence.

State fee and decision time

Our service fees do not include the state fee (stamp duty) of EUR 149, which is paid to the regulator.

Once an application has been submitted, the Bank of Lithuania usually decides on it within 2 months.
