Gofaizen & Sherle

What Gofaizen & Sherle does

Gofaizen & Sherle is a privately held law and regulatory consulting firm founded in 2021 and headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia, with a regional headquarters in Vilnius, Lithuania, and additional offices across Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and North America. The firm specializes in licensing and regulatory compliance for highly regulated financial industries, with primary verticals in cryptocurrency (VASP, CASP/MiCA, MSB, EMI), iGaming/gambling, forex/CFD, and tokenization/RWA. It serves startups through enterprise clients including WhiteBIT, SatoshiLabs/Invity, TRASTRA, and Pilsenga, delivering end-to-end services from jurisdiction selection and corporate structuring through AML/KYC framework development, regulator communication, license application management, and ongoing compliance maintenance.

The firm's core technology is an interactive License Navigator platform that consolidates jurisdictional parameters — minimum capital requirements, corporate tax rates, license acquisition timelines, and banking access — into a comparable analytical dashboard. It also maintains an inventory of ready-made licensed entities (Costa Rica, Canada MSB, Montana MSB, Australia AUSTRAC DCE, Montenegro, Bosnia) priced between USD 11,900 and USD 120,000 for transfer with regulatory notification and AML/KYC alignment. The firm additionally bundles adjacent services including company formation, AML/KYC policy and audit, accounting, high-risk business banking onboarding, GDPR compliance, and compliance officer integration.

Revenue mechanics are primarily project-based professional services — fixed fees for ready-made company transfers and time-and-materials for custom licensing engagements — supplemented by high-value institutional engagements in jurisdictions such as Hong Kong (MSO from USD 320,000) and Australia (AUSTRAC DCE at USD 120,000). The go-to-market is consultative and relationship-driven, with dedicated business development managers per vertical (crypto/blockchain and FX/iGaming) and direct enterprise sales through the firm's 13 offices and online inquiry channels. The firm holds Estonian FIU operating license FIU000407 and reports 800+ licenses delivered across 50+ jurisdictions and 1,000+ clients served globally.
