Intelligent Solution Group Ltd

What Intelligent Solution Group Ltd does

Intelligent Solution Group Ltd (ISG) is a London-headquartered professional services firm founded in 2011 that delivers cross-border corporate, financial, legal, and tax advisory to internationally mobile clients. The firm operates across 78 jurisdictions, supported by a network of 300+ partner banks and relationships with global institutions including KPMG, PwC, Pictet, Sarasin, and UBP. ISG serves 2,000+ clients through a 44-person specialist team and maintains a satellite office in Dubai, UAE to cover Middle East and emerging-market demand.

The firm's core offerings include offshore company registration, foreign bank account opening, payment system accounts, business immigration, accounting and tax compliance, gambling license procurement, crypto license advisory (including MiCA-aligned Crypto-Asset Service Provider services), and financial licenses such as MSB and AEMI equivalents. Service delivery is human-led rather than platform-based; there is no proprietary technology stack, and ISG positions accumulated jurisdictional expertise and regulator relationships as the primary value proposition rather than automation or software.

The business model is project-based consulting with fixed-fee pricing published on the website (e.g., UK LTD formation from €1,915, Hong Kong LTD from €3,310, Canadian MSB from €14,000). Go-to-market is direct sales through the website with consultation requests, targeting four principal segments: crypto exchanges, iGaming operators, e-commerce businesses, and high-net-worth individuals. Institutional referrals through Big-Four and private-bank partners form a secondary acquisition channel.
