Company registration
in Anjouan

Anjouan is an autonomous island within the Union of the Comoros that has, over recent years, positioned itself as a specialized jurisdiction for licensed online businesses targeting international markets. The jurisdiction is particularly popular among operators in iGaming, betting, online casinos, crypto platforms, and digital B2C services operating under a remote licensing model.
Company registration in Anjouan is most commonly combined with obtaining an Anjouan Gaming License, making the jurisdiction one of the most practical solutions for launching regulated online projects in the gambling and digital finance sectors. Unlike traditional offshore jurisdictions focused on passive holding structures, Anjouan functions as an operational licensing platform designed for real business activity.
From a corporate and regulatory perspective, Anjouan is not a classic offshore jurisdiction in the British sense. It operates under its own corporate and licensing framework, which is recognized by a range of international counterparties for B2C business models, including online gambling and crypto-related projects. Companies may be 100% foreign-owned, while incorporation and licensing are carried out fully remotely via a licensed local agent.
The key advantage of Anjouan lies in its practical, launch-oriented approach to business licensing, rather than formal presence or complex holding structures. The jurisdiction offers:

• accelerated company registration and licensing timelines;
• moderate and clearly defined regulatory and compliance requirements;
• the ability to obtain an official Anjouan Gaming License for online casinos, betting platforms, and gaming operators;
• a crypto-friendly approach to digital business models and international online services.

Anjouan is especially attractive for projects where speed to market, controlled licensing costs, and formal regulatory status are critical for working with payment providers, aggregators, and international partners.
Thanks to its combination of licensing flexibility, remote administration, and focus on real digital operations, Anjouan remains one of the most competitive jurisdictions for online gambling and crypto projects targeting a global audience.

Anjouan IBC and a Curaçao company are two of the most frequently compared corporate bases for iGaming operators. Both can be used as a foundation for further licensing, but they differ in cost, timelines, requirements and how they are perceived by PSPs, EMIs and payment aggregators.

When to choose Anjouan
Anjouan is a strong fit if your project is at an early stage, speed of incorporation matters and you need a cost-effective entry into a corporate structure. It can be a practical solution for operators who are prepared for individual compliance assessment.

When to choose Curacao
Curacao is preferable if your project requires a broader range of PSP options, a more recognized jurisdiction for partners, or access to markets where a Curaçao license carries greater recognition.

Anjouan IBC registration is fully remote and typically takes 2–3 weeks from the moment we receive the client's documents. We start by reviewing the ownership structure and project goals, then compile the KYC package, submit the registration documents and deliver the full corporate document package for further licensing, PSP/EMI onboarding, counterparties or international operations.

Anjouan IBC is an offshore structure without apostilled corporate documents, which means traditional banks rarely work with it directly. For iGaming projects, payment infrastructure is typically built through EMIs, PSPs and payment aggregators specializing in the high-risk segment.

What we help you prepare

• Compliance profile tailored to provider requirements
• Business description and payment flow for your specific model
• KYC package for EMI/PSP submission
• A shortlist of providers that may consider Anjouan IBC

Important to understand
The decision to onboard rests with each provider individually, based on the business model, target client regions, license status, UBO structure and AML/KYC documentation. Having an Anjouan IBC does not guarantee automatic approval by a bank, EMI or PSP.

Anjouan IBC can be used as a corporate base for cryptocurrency and blockchain-related projects: crypto casinos, token projects and platforms accepting crypto payments. The ability to work with cryptocurrency depends on the business model, target client regions, AML/KYC procedures and payment provider requirements.

Banking, PSP and AML requirements are assessed individually for each specific model. If the project requires a crypto license, it can be reviewed as the next step following IBC registration.

Before registering a company in Anjouan, it is important to understand whether an Anjouan IBC fits your business model, payment infrastructure and licensing goals. Anjouan is a niche jurisdiction used for specific scenarios: iGaming, online business, crypto-related projects and further AOFA licensing.

We do not recommend this structure to everyone. If the requirements of your partners, PSPs, investors or target markets do not align with what Anjouan can offer, it is better to choose a different jurisdiction before incorporation, not after facing rejections.

Before registration, we assess how well Anjouan IBC fits your project: business model, client countries, ownership structure, PSP/EMI requirements, licensing plans and payment infrastructure.
If Anjouan is the right fit, we handle the registration and document preparation. If not, we will recommend a more suitable alternative: Curaçao, Malta, Isle of Man, a European company, an offshore structure or a combined solution tailored to your needs.
