Purchasing a company does not automatically transfer regulatory permissions free of change-of-control requirements. Acquirers of qualifying holdings generally need prior approval from the competent authority, and a changed business plan may require new authorisation.
By contrast, some structures involve no regulatory approval for a change of ownership. SRO-affiliated companies in Switzerland are supervised for AML purposes by their self-regulatory organisation rather than licensed by FINMA, so a change of ownership generally requires notification to or re-registration with the SRO rather than prior regulatory approval. Similarly, US money services businesses that operate only under federal FinCEN MSB registration are registered, not licensed — although state money-transmitter licences, where held, do carry change-of-control requirements. Always confirm the position for the specific company with its SRO, regulator or counsel before proceeding.
