The SVG Financial Services Authority registers business companies and LLCs but does not license or regulate forex brokerage. Since a 2023 notice, forex brokers registered in SVG must provide a certified copy of a licence from the regulator in each jurisdiction where they do business (the deadline for existing firms was 10 March 2023). An SVG company can still be part of a group structure, but the brokerage licence itself must come from a regulator such as Seychelles, Mauritius or an onshore authority. **Key takeaways** - The SVG FSA does not license or regulate forex brokers. - Since 2023, SVG-registered brokers must show a licence from where they operate. - An SVG company alone is not a forex licence. - Pair an SVG entity with a licence from a recognised regulator if you use one. - Expect payment providers to ask for that licence. **Looking for licence application support?** Hold your brokerage licence with a recognised regulator; we help you apply and launch.

That was never a forex licence, and the rules have tightened. ## What the SVG FSA does and does not do | Activity | SVG FSA | | --- | --- | | Registers business companies and LLCs | Yes | | Issues forex or CFD brokerage licences | No | | Supervises forex trading activity | No | | Requires SVG forex companies to hold a licence elsewhere | Yes, since the 2023 notice | ## The 2023 change In early 2023 the SVG FSA required existing forex brokers registered in SVG to provide a certified copy of the licence they hold from the regulator of each jurisdiction where they conduct business, with a deadline of 10 March 2023, and warned of sanctions for non-compliance. Many brokers moved their licensed activity to other jurisdictions. ## How brokers structure instead 1.
