Buy Canada MSB

Buy a Canadian MSB Registered Shelf Company

What we provide

If you are looking to buy an MSB company Canada, we can support the acquisition of Canadian MSB registered companies that are available as shelf / ready-made / turnkey structures.

Our role is hands-on: we help you select the right option, execute the change of control steps, and complete the required FINTRAC registration detail updates after closing. We can also support your payments posture and operational readiness through optional RPAA/PSP Canada guidance and introducer-led payment account onboarding, including virtual IBAN solutions.

Ownership transfer within 24h. Contact us for more details. 

What is a ready-made MSB Canada?

A ready-made MSB Canada (also searched as “MSB registered company for sale Canada”, “shelf MSB Canada”, or “ready MSB for sale”) is a company that is already incorporated and has an active MSB registration in Canada.

Instead of registering a new entity and then building the registration posture from scratch, you acquire an existing structure and complete a clean ownership transition.

Options vary by target company

Each company is different. Availability and fit can depend on:

• The MSB services most relevant to your business activity

• Existing operational components (if any)

• The practical post-close updates required (ownership, contacts, services, and other registration details)

We share the details in a shortlist so you can choose with clarity.

What’s included in the acquisition support

Fast transaction execution

We run a structured process designed to avoid delays and keep the steps clear from the start.

Change of control + corporate updates

Typical acquisition support includes coordinating:

• Ownership transfer workflow

• Director/officer updates

• Corporate record changes needed for a clean handover

 

FINTRAC registration update support

Post-close, the MSB’s registration information must reflect the new ownership and updated details. We support the workflow so it’s completed efficiently, including:

• Organizing the information required for ownership and director updates

• Managing the update sequence so there is no confusion about “what happens when”

• Supporting confirmations and follow-up steps as needed

Handover and operational transition

We help you plan a practical transition:

• Handover checklist (documents, access, action items)

• Post-close priorities (what to do first to get operational)

• Optional introductions for payment accounts and rails

Choose the right MSB for your business activity

MSB for money transfer / remittance

If your primary model is money transfer or remittance, we focus on MSB options that align with that buyer intent and help you structure the acquisition for fast execution.

MSB for foreign exchange (FX)

For FX-led businesses, we can present ready-made MSB structures aligned to an FX operating model and then support your post-close execution plan.

MSB for virtual currency / crypto-related models

If you need a virtual currency MSB Canada (or you are searching “crypto MSB Canada for sale”), we can shortlist options relevant to virtual currency use cases, depending on the specific company’s registered services and setup.

We focus on practical readiness: operating flows, partner onboarding, and scalable reconciliation.

RPAA / PSP support

If your business model is closer to “payment services / PSP Canada,” you may need to consider PSP registration posture under Canada’s Retail Payment Activities Act (RPAA).

We provide business-first support, including:

• Mapping your flow to the right posture

• Helping you structure the documentation set and operating narrative

• Guiding the process so it remains actionable and execution-focused

Advanced-stage RPAA options (upon request):
Some available entities may already be at an advanced stage of the RPAA process, depending on the company. We confirm availability as part of the shortlist.

Payment accounts + Virtual IBAN onboarding

Many buyers ask the same question after they acquire a regulated structure: “How do we get operational quickly?”

We can support payment account onboarding with partner payment institutions/EMIs where we act as an official introducer. This can include solutions with virtual IBAN functionality.

What virtual IBANs enable

Virtual IBANs can materially improve scaling for multi-client payment flows:

• Separate virtual IBANs per customer for clean inbound routing

• Simpler reconciliation without manual matching

• Better client-level separation for reporting and operations

• A practical base for cross-border and multi-currency flows
