Section 01 · DM note
Dominica starts with corporate purpose and MSB perimeter.
The first note separates company use, money-services exposure and banking feasibility.
A Dominica route can be useful for corporate services or money-services planning, but the file should not be treated as a generic offshore substitute.
SKY7 checks the activity description, source-of-funds story, management location and provider stack before recommending a company, registration or a different Caribbean route.
Banking and correspondent access decide whether the route is practical; those assumptions are tested before any incorporation-first plan is presented.

Questions · DM
Dominica route checks before a filing decision.
These checks keep the Dominica route tied to the actual Financial Services Unit perimeter, not a generic jurisdiction shortlist.
Q.01When does Dominica fit?
It fits when the operating model matches Corporate · MSB · Offshore services and the team can evidence ownership, customer geography and banking assumptions before approaching Financial Services Unit.
Q.02Which scope needs checking first?
Start with Corporate · MSB · Offshore services; SKY7 then confirms whether adjacent activities change the permission set, capital treatment or local substance plan.
Q.03What evidence should be ready?
Financial Services Unit will expect a coherent ownership, AML/CFT, governance and evidence file.
Q.04What can move the timeline?
The 4-8 mo planning signal can move with regulator queue, ownership complexity, AML/CFT evidence and banking or provider acceptance.
