Types of Entities
The structure you choose affects everything from taxation and liability to protection and management flexibility. Consider a type that matches your business size, your financial goals, and your future plans to grow when choosing the type of a legal entity. Below are the most common entity types used by international businesses and iGaming operators.
Private Limited Company
This is a smaller, more private version of a limited company. Countries name it in different ways: the Ltd. in the UK and Malta, the Pty Ltd. in Australia, the GmbH in Germany. Its ownership structure is restricted, and its shares are not publicly traded. That’s why it is the most common structure for small and medium-sized businesses. Plus, this structure is required to apply for most national and offshore gambling licenses.
Public Limited Company
This is a larger version of a limited company. Unlike a private limited company, its shares can be freely bought and sold on a stock exchange. This allows for vast capital raising, but on the other hand, it comes with intense public scrutiny and regulation.
In France, Spain, and many countries influenced by French or Spanish civil law, limited companies called it “S.A.” or “Anonymous Corporation”. The Netherlands, Belgium, Curaçao, and other Dutch-influenced jurisdictions called it “N.V.”.
International Business Companies (IBC)
While not as common as Ltd. in many European jurisdictions, the IBC structure is often used in smaller offshore jurisdictions like Anjouan (Comoros) and Nevis for its simplified regulatory and tax benefits.
An IBC offers a fast, low-cost incorporation with tax exemptions on non-local business revenue, so the company does not need to pay taxes on its foreign income. That’s why it is often chosen by startups and smaller operators targeting international markets outside of strict European regulations.
