Unregulated jurisdictions - are the countries where Forex services are not regulated. These include Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Marshall Islands. Company registration takes 2 weeks and costs from 1500 USD. It is a right decision to register a company this country to start a business. 9 out of 10 Forex brokers use this option.
Semi-regulated jurisdictions - are the countries where there is a regulation of Forex brokers, and low requirements for doing business. These include Vanuatu, Malaysia, Belize or the Seychelles. The option is doubtful, since there is no advantage to work with registration costs from 20,000 USD.
