South Africa FSP for Sale: FSCA-Licensed Companies

Yes. Dealable24 lists South African companies that already hold an FSCA license in Category I or Category II. You buy the company with the license in place; the change of shareholders goes to the FSCA for approval, and the key individuals named on the license pass fit-and-proper checks.

Category I covers advice and intermediary services in the licensed product classes, which is where forex brokerages and insurance intermediaries sit. Category II adds discretionary management of client assets. Each listing states the category and the product subcategories on the license.

Where it exists. Dormant FSPs sell clean, with the license and the corporate shell. Operating brokerages sell with the book, the staff, and the banking, and the price reflects it. Each listing states operational status, and the due diligence room opens after an NDA.
