Rare Monaco Business Development & Consulting Licence Enters the Market

A rare Monaco Business Development & Consulting licence has recently entered the market, drawing attention to the increasing scarcity of this activity category within the Principality. According to industry professionals, new licences of this type are no longer being issued, making existing, compliant structures particularly sought after.

As Monaco continues to attract entrepreneurs, family offices and international advisory firms, demand for regulated consulting entities has intensified. With supply effectively fixed, market observers note that transfer values for existing licences have risen steadily, reflecting Monaco’s status as a premium base for international business activity.

Strategic positioning within Monaco’s ecosystem

Holding a consulting licence in this category allows companies to operate at the heart of Monaco’s high-value business environment, offering credibility and regulatory clarity when working with international clients. Such structures are commonly used for advisory mandates involving business development, strategic growth, investor relations and cross-border consulting, particularly for Europe- and GCC-facing activity.

Professionals operating under this framework typically serve high-net-worth individuals, family offices, private investors and international founders, leveraging Monaco’s reputation for stability, governance and discretion. The licence also enables international invoicing for exported services, reinforcing Monaco’s role as a strategic hub rather than a domestic-only market.

A limited route to market entry

Given current regulatory conditions, acquiring an existing licence is widely regarded as the only viable pathway for professionals seeking to establish a consulting presence in Monaco under this activity scope. As a result, transfers are handled discreetly, with information shared only with qualified parties.

The availability of this licence underscores a broader trend within Monaco’s economy: increasing competition for regulated business structures as the Principality continues to position itself as a centre for high-level advisory, strategic services and international deal-making.

Confidential enquiries are currently being accepted for parties seeking further information on the activity scope, transfer conditions and regulatory requirements.
