Short answer
Every fee, tax and deadline on this site comes from a primary source: the regulator, the official gazette or the statute itself. Every page carries the date it was last reviewed, figures are rechecked on a fixed 90-day cycle, and errors are corrected publicly in the log below.
Sources we use
- Regulators: for example ONJN (Romania), the MGA (Malta), the CGA (Curaçao), the UK Gambling Commission and the Isle of Man GSC: fee schedules, license conditions, guidance notes and public registers.
- Official gazettes: for example Monitorul Oficial al României, Part I, for the date an act was published and entered into force.
- Consolidated legislation portals: for example legislatie.just.ro for the current text of OUG 77/2009 and its amending acts.
- Official registers: regulator license registers, trade registers and the ECB reference rates for currency conversion.
What we do not use
Secondary summaries, law-firm articles, legal directories and competitors’ websites. Where no primary source exists, the figure is labeled on the page as estimated, indicative, to reconfirm or our practice experience, with the date it was checked.
Who checks
Alex Szilaghi, founder, reviews every guide before it is published and at each review. Romanian legal content (the Romania guides, the change log and legal readings in our articles) is also reviewed by Alina Szilaghi, avocat, member of the Cluj Bar and the Bucharest Bar since 2004.
Review cycle
- Every figure is rechecked at least every 90 days.
- When a regulatory change affects a figure, the affected pages are updated within 5 working days of the change being published.
- Each page shows its “Reviewed” date. The jurisdiction register and the cost calculator also show their data version (currently 2026.11.10-4, verified 10 November 2026); the calculator’s changelog is on its methodology page.
How figures are presented
- Government and statutory costs are shown separately from professional fees. Our own fees are never mixed into a government figure.
- Financial guarantees and share capital are shown separately from costs: they are money held or committed, not spent.
- Amounts in other currencies are converted at ECB reference rates, with the date of the rate shown (currently 9 November 2026).
