Founders with Asia-Pacific operations who need an EU CEE CASP entry point plus bundled corporate services.

Score breakdown · CLBR v1.0

Seven pillars, one score.

Licensing specialisation 11/22

Corporate-services positioning with crypto licensing as one of several lines — company formation, banking introduction, nominee services and tax structuring all sit alongside it. That multi-service framing dilutes the pure-crypto focus and holds the pillar in the low band.

Jurisdictional coverage 13/18

Strong Asia-Pacific depth — Singapore, Hong Kong, UAE and Australia — is the primary differentiator, with EU coverage limited to seven CEE member states. Seventeen jurisdictions documented in total, which carries this pillar high despite the Western-EU gap.

Licences secured 9/15

Volume is claimed in the mid-hundreds across all corporate-services lines, with the crypto-licensing subset not separately quantified and case studies anonymised. Framed under licences secured, the count is credited on aggregate volume rather than isolated crypto outcomes.

AML / DORA depth 5/13

Ex-regulator credentials are limited in public materials, and the team page emphasises operational efficiency over regulator-side track record. Read as AML/DORA and supervisor-side depth, this is the thinnest bench of the firms reviewed and the weakest pillar.

Transparency 8/12

Pricing is referenced at indicative level in jurisdiction-specific guides, and process flowcharts are published. Methodology around jurisdiction recommendations is less developed than the leaders', but the disclosure layer is solid and lands high in this pillar.

Post-licence support 9/10

End-to-end from incorporation through licensing, banking introduction and ongoing compliance, with nominee services and tax structuring rounding out the stack. Useful for cost-led applicants who need the full corporate-services chain in one place.

E-E-A-T 8/10

Substantial content library — country-specific guides, FAQ depth and blog content — with named senior management and an active LinkedIn presence. The authority signal is stronger than purely Eastern European budget firms', short of the specialist leaders'.

Where Tetra Consultants scores highest

Tetra Consultants scores highest on Asia-Pacific coverage. The Singapore base anchors a genuinely deep regional footprint — Hong Kong SFC work, UAE VARA and ADGM positioning, Australian AUSTRAC registration — that no other firm in the lower band matches.

The corporate-services bundle is the operational draw. A cost-conscious founder setting up a Class 2 CASP in Lithuania often needs holding-company structures, banking arrangements and ongoing tax work too, and Tetra offers that stack under one relationship instead of four or five separate vendors. Seventeen jurisdictions are documented in total.

Where Tetra Consultants is weaker

The limits are regulator-side depth and crypto specialisation. Ex-regulator credentials are light — the team page leads on operational efficiency rather than named ex-NCA personnel — so for complex prudential or ICT-resilience matters, the specialist leaders have the edge.

Crypto is also one service line among several. Company formation, nominee services, banking introduction and tax structuring all sit alongside it, which dilutes the pure-crypto focus and makes the crypto-specific track record hard to isolate from aggregate volume. EU coverage is real but limited to seven CEE member states, with no Western EU depth.

Tetra Consultants by jurisdiction

Singapore is home ground, and the team works Asia-Pacific positioning and holding-company structuring from there with the MAS in view. In Hong Kong it handles VASP-side work with the SFC, and in the UAE it covers Dubai VARA and ADGM positioning as part of a wide offshore set — the geographic profile that makes it a fit for Asia-Pacific-first founders who need EU access as a secondary jurisdiction.
