As you know, one of Daneel’s goals is to always provide you with the most reliable information.

Therefore, in this post we are sharing our main legal elements with the community, as well as providing relevant details about or IBM International partnership.

1. Daneel’s Legal Status : why Estonia?

Daneel Assistant OÜ is a company based in Estonia and our teams are mainly located in France….so why?

As mentioned by Richard J. Witismann (Lawyer and Ambassador of Estonian e-residency) in his article, the Estonian government is one of the few governments in the world to have created a legal framework for cryptocurrency and companies in the field of cryptocurrency. This protects Daneel from future legal or accounting problems. For instance, in France, no legal and accounting framework has been adopted, while Estonia offers high quality regulators to help and actively support blockchain companies.

Thanks to the e-residency system, Joseph Bedminster took the decision to create Daneel in Estonia : Daneel’s team is based in France and Daneel OÜ is Registered in Tallinn.

The favorable tax policy and the low cost of starting a business in Estonia are two important advantages of this solution that will help us run a lean business and hit important milestones quicker.

As Joseph Bedminster (CEO) says: “ Estonia’s legal framework is one of the keys to ensuring the legal and financial sustainability of Daneel, an essential asset for all contributors and future users.”

Why isn’t Daneel listed on the IBM Partnerworld program website?

Many of you asked us why we were not listed on the IBM Partnerworld website (not showing up in the results appearing when using the “Business Partner Locator”).

Here is why :

  • A company needs to go through several internal processes in order to be listed on the IBM Business Locator…we are working hard on it but it is a lengthy process due to the size of the company.

In a logic of sharing with our community, here are some visual elements that we can make public.
