Frequently asked questions
Who supervises banks and insurers in Liechtenstein?
The Financial Market Authority Liechtenstein (FMA) is the integrated supervisor for banks, insurers, asset managers, funds and other financial intermediaries. As an EEA member, Liechtenstein also implements European financial market law, an advantage for institutions operating across borders.
What should an SME look out for in a loan agreement?
Beyond interest and term, above all the ancillary provisions: termination rights, covenants, reporting obligations and the security required. These clauses decide how much room you have when business develops differently than planned.
Do you also handle setting up and administering structures?
Yes. We handle the legal work and notarisation, while fiduciary administration is provided in cooperation with Lumen Advisory. You get formation and ongoing administration from a single source.
