Manavia eGaming Licensing and Corporate Support

Multi ProductFirst PartyAvailability: Standalone and Bundled

Manavia holds Isle of Man Financial Services Authority corporate and trust service permissions. They do not accredit Manavia as a gambling-license advisor, authorize it to issue or approve gambling licenses, or make it a law firm.

MannBenham Advocates Limited is the separately regulated group law practice. Legal advice, advocate responsibility, client-file protections, and any legal-privilege position require a separate MannBenham engagement or another named qualified lawyer; they do not arise from a Manavia engagement alone.

Products

Isle of Man application coordination: License-scope planning, application-document coordination, corporate setup, and communication support while the applicant remains responsible to the GSC.

Company formation and administration: Manavia-provided incorporation, registered office, directors, statutory records, filings, governance, and economic-substance support under the applicable Class 4 permissions and engagement.

Multi-jurisdictional licensing coordination: Assessment and project coordination for a named foreign jurisdiction, with every local provider, qualified lawyer, filing authority, and regulated role disclosed in the engagement.

Post-license corporate and compliance support: Continuing corporate administration, governance, compliance, and reporting tasks that are expressly allocated after a license decision.

Integration: The engagement should name Manavia Limited, the applicant and licensee, regulator and license class, application owner, designated officials, corporate-services scope, local officers, portal authority, document owners, legal counsel, foreign providers, auditors and labs, fees, dependencies, data controllers and recipients, conflicts, remediation, post-license duties, record access, replacement, and exit handover. General-use legal text is not a service agreement; MannBenham Advocates' terms apply only when that law firm is engaged.

Strengths

What to verify in procurement

! Manavia is not the GSC, an OGRA license holder, or an approval authority. The applicant owns the filing and the GSC owns review, hearing, conditions, and the decision.
! The FSA Class 4 and Class 5 license regulates corporate and trust services. It does not certify Manavia's gambling-advisory outcomes or authorize legal practice.
! Do not assume legal privilege from the MannBenham group relationship. Use a separate engagement with MannBenham Advocates Limited or another named qualified lawyer when legal advice is required.
! Complete project terms and a recipient map for sensitive applicant and beneficial-owner data remain unavailable. Obtain both before transferring a due-diligence file.
! Fees and timelines are contract-specific, approval cannot be guaranteed, and broad market-access language does not replace a jurisdiction-specific route. Check each market with the responsible authority and named local provider.
