B2B gaming licence secured with a complete financial compliance pack
A platform provider applying for an MGA B2B licence needed audited financial statements, capital-requirement evidence and fit-and-proper financial documentation — under authority deadlines.
A4 prepared the financial submissions end to end: audited accounts, share-capital and own-funds evidence, projections and an ongoing compliance calendar. The licence was granted with no financial follow-up requests.

Corporate restructuring
Cross-border merger completed into a single Malta entity
Challenge

Shareholder exit delivered through a compliant share buy-back
Challenge
A shareholder exit was best served by a company buy-back rather than an external sale — requiring distributable-reserves testing, valuation support, tax treatment and Companies Act procedure.
Outcome
A4 tested reserves, supported the valuation, structured the buy-back tranches and handled the tax analysis and MBR filings — a clean exit with the remaining shareholders in full control.
