Market Maker (MM)
Market Maker authorisation permits quoting two-way prices as a business and normally carries stronger capital, risk-control and conduct expectations than simple brokerage permissions. The current market-maker card is the Cyprus CySEC CIF file, so MiFID-style governance, capital and risk controls are central to diligence. For acquisitions, SKY7 checks whether the permission set, responsible officers, risk framework, banking and client book can survive the buyer's change of control. The headline only works if the detailed licence schedule supports the intended market-making activity.

Market-maker files need instrument scope, capital and conduct review.
A market-maker acquisition should start with the instruments and execution model, not the licence name. SKY7 checks whether the permissions support the planned liquidity, dealing, matched-principal or own-account activity.
The buyer also needs to understand capital treatment, risk controls, reporting, responsible officers, client classification and whether platform or liquidity-provider relationships can continue after closing.
Market-maker buyer questions
Route checks before a buyer compares live files.
What is the main risk in a market-maker file?
The main risk is buying a permission set that does not support the planned instruments, execution model or client category after transfer.
Which evidence should be reviewed first?
Review regulator approval, capital position, risk-management framework, responsible officers, liquidity/provider contracts and conduct history.
When is this route not suitable?
It is not suitable when the buyer cannot support the capital, governance, reporting or conduct controls expected for market-making activity.
