About Us
A Zitadelle AG Group company dedicated to facilitating the acquisition and sale of regulated financial businesses worldwide.
The Premier Marketplace for Regulated Financial Businesses
Financial License Market is the specialized division of Zitadelle AG focused on M&A advisory services for the regulated financial services sector. We connect owners of licensed financial institutions with qualified buyers seeking entry into regulated markets.
Our platform serves as a confidential marketplace where CFD brokers, payment institutions, fund structures, investment banks, and other regulated entities can be listed for acquisition by verified buyers including private equity firms, family offices, strategic acquirers, and entrepreneurs.
With expertise spanning 40+ regulatory jurisdictions across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and offshore financial centers, we understand the complexities of license transfers, change of control requirements, and cross-border transactions.
