AIFC registration
The Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) is a jurisdiction with an independent legal system based on English law. Companies registered in the AIFC meet international corporate governance standards, which builds confidence with foreign partners and investors. It makes a business more transparent, more credible and more attractive for international work — which matters most to larger organisations and companies with global ambitions.
