Our Mission

Choosing where to set up a business, obtain a licence, or move abroad shouldn't require weeks of scattered research across dozens of government sites, consultant brochures, and outdated forum posts.

StateBay brings it all together in one place. We aggregate, verify, and present jurisdiction data in a way that's easy to compare — from corporate tax rates and incorporation costs to golden visa requirements and quality-of-life indicators.

Our goal is simple: give you the clarity to make better global decisions, faster.

What We Do

  • Compare 100+ jurisdictions worldwide
  • Company formation and licensing data
  • Interactive heatmaps and comparison tools
  • News and analysis on global business

What Our Users Say

“We were weighing up Malta vs. Estonia vs. Lithuania for our payments company. StateBay had all three side-by-side with the actual licensing timelines and costs — saved our team a solid month of back-and-forth with local agents.”

“Most of the golden visa information out there is outdated or behind a paywall. StateBay is the only place I’ve found that keeps the CBI and RBI program data current and free. I send it to every client.”

Partner, Greenfield Mobility

“Getting a gaming licence is a maze. We used the comparison tools to shortlist Curacao, Isle of Man, and Gibraltar, then drilled into the specifics for each. The data was more thorough than what our legal counsel had put together.”
