Manavia
Product sources reviewedIdentity verifiedManavia Limited provides a current eGaming licensing-support service alongside its regulated Isle of Man corporate-services business. The published scope covers jurisdiction assessment, application-document coordination, company formation, governance, continuing compliance, and operational support.
Manavia is the trading name of active Isle of Man company Manavia Limited, company 088712C and formerly MannBenham Fiduciaries Limited. The company is an Isle of Man Financial Services Authority license holder for specified corporate and trust services. It is presented as part of the wider MannBenham Group, but MannBenham Advocates Limited is a separate regulated law practice and MannBenham Services Limited is a separate advisory company. The group label does not make those companies interchangeable or establish a legal parent-owner relationship.
Manavia eGaming Licensing and Corporate Support
Multi ProductFirst PartyAvailability: Standalone and BundledManavia Limited provides a current eGaming licensing-support service alongside its regulated Isle of Man corporate-services business. The published scope covers jurisdiction assessment, application-document coordination, company formation, governance, continuing compliance, and operational support.
The Isle of Man Financial Services Authority license independently supports Manavia's corporate and trust service role. It does 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.
Integration: The engagement should name Manavia Limited, the applicant and intended licensee, target regulator and license class, application owner, designated officials and key people, corporate-services work, local directors or officers, regulator-portal and communication authority, document and policy owners, MannBenham or other legal counsel, foreign corporate providers, auditors and testing labs, official and professional fees, filing dependencies, data controllers and recipients, conflicts, rejection and remediation scope, post-license duties, records access, replacement, and exit handover. Manavia's website legal notice is not a complete service agreement, and MannBenham Advocates' terms apply only when that separate law firm is engaged.

- ! 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.
- ! The public Manavia legal and privacy notices do not provide complete project terms or a recipient map for sensitive applicant and beneficial-owner data. Obtain both before transferring a due-diligence file.
- ! Do not publish Manavia's website fees, timelines, regulator-relationship language, approval wording, or broad market-access claims as verified facts. Check each jurisdiction with the responsible authority and named local provider.
- ManaviaVendorchecked 2026-07-12— The current legal notice identifies Manavia as the trading name of Manavia Limited, formerly MannBenham Fiduciaries Limited, company 088712C. It says Manavia Limited owns the site and holds Isle of Man Class 4 corporate-services and Class 5 trust-services permissions. This is identity and website-terms evidence, not a client engagement agreement or gambling-regulator accreditation.
- Isle of Man Financial Services AuthorityRegulatorchecked 2026-07-12— The official Financial Services Act license-conditions document names Manavia Limited under FSA reference 1219. It restricts the company to Class 4 corporate-services sub-classes 1 through 15 and Class 5 trust-services sub-classes 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6. It does not authorize Manavia to issue gambling licenses or establish a law-firm role.
- ManaviaVendorchecked 2026-07-12— The current service page offers multi-jurisdictional licensing support, continuing regulatory compliance, risk and data-protection work, corporate structuring, governance, and outsourced business support. It says the Manavia team is supported by the MannBenham Group, including MannBenham Advocates. That wording does not assign legal work or professional responsibility to Manavia Limited.
- ManaviaVendorchecked 2026-07-12— The current licensing overview describes jurisdiction assessment, company setup, application-document coordination, and continuing compliance support across named markets. Its fee, timing, regulator-relationship, recognition, approval, tax, banking, and market-access statements remain vendor claims and are not normalized as verified facts.
- ManaviaVendorchecked 2026-07-12— The current page describes Manavia-provided company formation, registered office, directors, corporate administration, statutory filings, economic-substance support, and outsourced business services. These activities fit the separately checked Class 4 boundary, subject to the exact engagement and license conditions.
- ManaviaVendorchecked 2026-07-12— The current privacy notice and footer point to Manavia Limited and cover website and service enquiries. The notice does not map a gambling-application file across Manavia, MannBenham Advocates, foreign counsel, local corporate providers, regulators, banks, auditors, or other project recipients, so project data roles and transfers remain contractual.
- MannBenham AdvocatesVendorchecked 2026-07-12— The current group legal notice identifies three separate businesses: MannBenham Advocates Limited, company 100904C, as the Isle of Man legal practice; Manavia Limited, company 088712C, as the corporate and trust service provider; and MannBenham Services Limited, company 027473B, behind the advisory business name. The shared group and office do not merge their contracts or regulated roles.
- Isle of Man Law SocietyRegulatorchecked 2026-07-12— The current Law Society directory lists MannBenham Advocates Limited as the law firm, names its practicing advocates, and includes e-gaming and regulatory work among its specialties. Manavia Limited is not the law firm identified by this record.
- MannBenham Advocates LimitedVendorchecked 2026-07-12— The legal-service terms apply to MannBenham Advocates Limited through its engagement letter and schedule. They define that firm's legal services, fees, due diligence, confidentiality, client files, and legal-privilege handling. They are not Manavia Limited terms and cannot create privilege for a Manavia-only engagement.
- Isle of Man Gambling Supervision CommissionRegulatorchecked 2026-07-12— The current GSC licensing page says the applicant submits forms, vetting material, supporting documents, and the application fee to the Inspectorate; the Inspectorate may meet designated officials and the operations manager before a formal hearing. It also says GSC officers cannot advise on an application because that would conflict with their evaluation role.
- Isle of Man Gambling Supervision CommissionRegulatorchecked 2026-07-12— The active online-gambling licensee register was updated July 8, 2026 and does not list Manavia or MannBenham. That is expected for an advisor and corporate-service provider, but it prevents Manavia's FSA license or advisory work from being presented as an OGRA operator or software-supplier license.
