// Ready-Made vs. Fresh Application

Why Choose a Ready-Made Company?

A fresh KNF CASP application takes 3–5 months under the best conditions. A ready-made company delivers the same result in 2–3 weeks — with a guaranteed outcome, because the license already exists.

⚡

Speed to Market

Fresh KNF CASP applications take 3–5 months minimum. With a ready-made company, your team is operational within 2–3 weeks of completion. For competitive markets, this timing advantage is decisive.

🎯

Guaranteed Authorization

A fresh application carries execution risk — KNF may request additional documentation, raise objections, or extend its review period. A ready-made company already has the authorization in hand. There is no uncertainty.

🌍

Immediate EU Passporting

Because the CASP authorization is already in force and the entity is already on the ESMA register, you can initiate EU passporting notifications to other member states immediately upon ownership transfer.

→

Fit & Proper AssessmentKNF evaluates the reputation, financial integrity, and regulatory history of incoming shareholders and proposed management. Background checks and financial statements required.

KNF Ownership Change NotificationA formal notification must be submitted to KNF within statutory deadlines following the share transfer. KNF has 60 working days to raise objections; in practice, most notifications proceed without issue.

// FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the KNF CASP license transferable with a ready-made company?

Yes. The CASP authorization is issued to the legal entity (the spółka z o.o.), not to individual shareholders. When you acquire the company via share transfer, the authorization remains valid, subject to KNF notification of the ownership change. This is fundamentally different from asset purchases, which would not transfer the license.

How long does the ownership transfer take?

The full process from signed share purchase agreement to operational handover takes 2–3 weeks. KNF must be notified of any qualifying holding change within statutory deadlines. Our team manages the complete notification process. KNF has 60 working days to raise objections, but the share transfer itself can be registered in the KRS immediately.

Are there minimum capital requirements after purchase?

Yes. Under MiCA, CASP entities must maintain minimum own funds on an ongoing basis. The exact amount depends on the classes of services authorized (typically €50,000 for Class 1 services, up to €150,000 for Class 3). The ready-made company is already capitalized to the required threshold at the time of transfer; buyers must maintain this level and meet quarterly reporting requirements to KNF.

Can the ready-made company passport to other EU countries immediately?

Yes. Once ownership transfer is complete and KRS is updated, you can initiate EU passporting notifications to any of the other 26 EU member states. Passporting under MiCA requires a notification to KNF (home authority) which then notifies the host country regulator. Our Full Package includes passporting support for up to 3 jurisdictions.

What if KNF raises objections to the ownership change?

KNF objections in ready-made company acquisitions are rare, provided the buyer meets basic fit & proper requirements. Our team conducts pre-acquisition due diligence on both the entity and the buyer to identify and resolve any potential issues before the formal notification is submitted. In the unlikely event of objections, we manage the response process on your behalf.
