Ever since I became a part of this incredible forum, the depth and breadth of knowledge, unwavering support, and unique insights.
Interestingly, while this forum covers a vast array of topics, I've noticed an absence of discussions centered on Collective Investment Schemes.
I'd like to introduce and seek guidance on this very topic.
A bit about my background in this: I spearhead a dedicated WhatsApp group comprising "professional investors" over $1M in portfolio.
Our primary focus lies in Equity within Startups and Crypto
A few key points to contextualize our group:
1)None of the members hail from the U.S.
2) I, myself, am from a small island in the Caribbean. The rest of our group's members span continents, predominantly from Asia and Europe.
3)Our agreements and deals are structured such that contracts are individually signed.
4) I'm the one that goes after the deals to bring to the group and I receive a commission on top of their investment
5) They are not interested in setting up a fund. They like to invest themselves in startups or crypto.
To be in compliance with the rules, since the business is growing, I'm seeking a Jurisdiction to incorporate the company and a License such as Financial Advisory and/or Facilitating Investments.
Questions
1)Do I require a Financial Advisor License, or should I consider an Investment Facilitator License? Which is more appropriate for my needs?
2)Which jurisdictions offer a more streamlined process for obtaining such licenses?
3)Should I consider restrictions for multiple countries or focus solely on the U.S.?
4) In the realm of cryptocurrency, is it okay to establish a shell company to sign the contracts and use a new wallet to receive tokens?
5) What are good firms overseas in the crypto sector?
