In Lithuania

Lithuania built the deepest fintech licensing pipeline in the EU, and the secondary market followed: more EMI and payment entities change hands here than anywhere else in the union.

A.I. Overview

A Lithuanian licensed company transfers with its authorisation, and the Bank of Lithuania reviews the new owner. Lithuania is where most EU e-money and payment stock sits, which is why it is the most-asked-for jurisdiction in this catalogue.

Know this first

An EMI that is authorised is not the same asset as an EMI that is live on SEPA — the difference between a clean shelf and an operating institution is a factor of two to three in price, and the only thing that settles it is the account infrastructure.

Ready-Made Or From Scratch In Lithuania?

Buying the entity shortens the queue, not the diligence. Getting the licence from zero is cheaper in fees and far longer in months — the trade is time against cost, and the numbers are on the jurisdiction page.

Ready-made

  • Live in 4–6 weeks
  • Licence already granted
  • Priced as an asset, audit included
  • You inherit the history — which is why we audit it

From scratch

  • Months, not weeks
  • Outcome not guaranteed
  • Lower cash cost, higher time cost
  • Clean history by construction

Questions

Questions Buyers Ask First

01How long does a transfer in Lithuania actually take?
Typically 4–6 weeks from signed terms to the entity being yours. The variable is the regulator, not the paperwork: the change of control is assessed before completion, and that assessment sets the calendar.
02What does Bank of Lithuania check about the buyer?
Fitness and propriety of the incoming owners and managers, the source of the funds, and whether the business model after the sale still matches what was authorised. A clean, documented answer to those three shortens the process more than anything else.
03Is a company in Lithuania usable outside it?
Yes. The authorisation passports across the EU and EEA, so the entity can serve clients in other member states through notification rather than a new licence in each one.
04What if nothing is in stock right now?
Then the card says so. We source against a written brief through the partner network, quote a real figure once a position is found, and never claim to hold a company we do not. The first buyer who asks to see documents is the last one who would come back otherwise.
