About us

The advisory brand of BLK Group: one firm that advises, and group companies that execute. We help internationally operating businesses make decisions that hold up, and we stay in the room while you act on them.


Advice that is built to be acted on.

We advise internationally operating businesses on payments, corporate setup, cross-border structuring, VAT/VIES oversight, receivables and M&A. The work is practical and close: we map how the business actually runs, name the friction, and give you options with the trade-offs stated.

What makes the advice actionable is what sits behind it. BLK Advisory Services holds no licence of its own; it is the advisory brand of a group whose companies do. When execution needs a permission, we introduce the group company or the vetted third party that holds it, and we say which and why.


Who you will deal with.

“If the advice can’t survive your bank, your auditor and your buyer, it isn’t advice. That is the standard everything here is built to.”

The standingis the group’s.

BLK Advisory Services is one brand of BLK Group, alongside the group’s payments, digital-asset, asset-management and technology companies. The structures we advise on are executed and run by the group entity that holds the relevant permission.

FCA · FINTRAC · ARIF · ATVP

Limassol CY · London UK · Luzern CH · Vancouver CA · Wiesbaden DE · Sofia BG

We operate as a business and financial advisory consultancy. That means we provide strategic guidance, operational design, and introductions to reputable licensed providers where specialist execution is required. We don’t custody funds, and we don’t perform regulated corporate administration or statutory filings ourselves.

Group entities are authorised, registered or supervised in the United Kingdom, Canada, Switzerland and Slovenia; status differs by entity and jurisdiction. ARIF supervision is anti-money-laundering supervision under the Swiss AMLA, not a FINMA prudential licence. BLK Advisory Services holds no licence of its own: it advises, and hands execution to the group company that holds the relevant permission.
