Securities Dealers License from the VFSC in Vanuatu
VANUATU SECURITIES DEALERS LICENSE (FX)
OFFSHORE FOREX AND SECURITIES BROKERAGE LICENSE
IFLS' most requested license: The Vanuatu Forex Securities Dealers License. Become a regulated securities dealer and enable your clients access to your very own products, such as: Forex Services, Managed Accounts. Trade FX, Bonds, CFDs, Certificates etc. - No other license offers such a value for limited costs
Despite of the growing demand for financial services, it has become difficult for financial service providers to obtain a license for their activities or stand the pressure of ever-increasing rules and requirements in order to retain that license.
Controlling authorities impose strict rules and increase entry barriers (such as enormous capital requirement), trying to oust medium-sized companies from this business area.
One of the solutions we offer with this regard is Vanuatu Securities Dealers License. It is a relatively new product, but it already gained an approval and popularity of many firms, offering financial services to the customers worldwide.
Obtaining of a license of the Securities Dealer becomes possible due to the Dealers in Securities (Licensing) Act [Cap 70 of the laws of Vanuatu] (previously called Prevention of Fraud (Investment) Act), which allows individuals and companies to apply for such license.

Basically, the Act has two functions. First is to regulate the issuance of the license of securities dealer and the second is to impose penalties for persons/corporations dealing with securities without a permission or fraudulently inducing people to invest money in securities.

The definition of "dealing in securities" includes a requirement of an intention to make a profit.
