The world is changing fast, and technologies are constantly evolving. This makes technologies more attractive and therefore more and more new business models are emerging.

At the same time, laws and regulations are continuously being updated so that all market participants can operate under the same conditions in regulated areas. Acting as a payment institution, a provider of virtual currency services and a financial institution has become particularly popular, and regarding this, the number of applications for an activity licenses has also increased.

The fintech lifecycle:

The lifecycle of a Fintech may start with an innovative and digital first concept, but may be underpinned with regulation, governance and a strong growth strategy. It’s important to have advisors in place that understand the sector – as we know, technology moves significantly faster than tax reform and many jurisdictions are still trying to figure out how they regulate and tax the digital economy.
