A.I. Overview
A Vanuatu securities dealer can be acquired, but the licence itself cannot be assigned: the VFSC approves in advance any change of 15% or more in ownership, and is notified within 14 days of a change in key persons.

Ready-Made Or From Scratch In Vanuatu?
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 6–10 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 Vanuatu actually take?
Typically 6–10 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 Vanuatu Financial Services Commission 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 Vanuatu usable outside it?
Only within its home market, with cross-border work handled case by case. If you need reach across the EU, look at a jurisdiction whose licence passports instead.
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.
