Accelerate offers four main service categories tailored to the emerging Bitcoin and blockchain economy in El Salvador:
Legal Services - The firm provides comprehensive legal support for new technology businesses including company incorporation (corporations, NGOs, branch registrations), trademark registration, AML/KYC policy development, business legal consultation, and assistance with opening bank accounts. Their expertise extends to labor law, intellectual property, contract law, and general business advisory services.

Services include business residency applications for individuals, investor residency programs, visa acquisition for entry into El Salvador, real estate information for apartments and houses, and comprehensive support for adapting to life in El Salvador.
Bitcoin Licenses and Tokenization - The firm's core specialization lies in obtaining licenses and regulatory approvals from Salvadoran government entities. Their multidisciplinary team of lawyers, accountants, programmers, and consultants assists clients with exchange licenses, wallet licenses, payment gateway licenses, custodian licenses, trading/staking licenses (both centralized and decentralized), token issuer authorizations, stablecoin issuer authorizations, asset tokenization, real estate tokenization, money transfer company (ETD) remittance licenses, and electronic money provider licenses interconnected with the Central Reserve Bank (BCR).
Tax Benefits and Fiscal Incentives - Accelerate provides specialized guidance on leveraging El Salvador's attractive tax incentive programs for technology companies and investors. Key services include applications for the Innovation Promotion Law (offering 15 years without income tax, capital gains tax, or municipal taxes), specialized tax consultation, international corporate structuring, tax planning, applications for Free Trade Zone and Active Improvement Centers Law benefits, fiscal incentives for authorized token investors, incentives for call centers and international services, renewable energy project incentives, and tourist project incentives.
Accelerate differentiates itself through deep expertise in El Salvador's regulatory environment for blockchain and cryptocurrency businesses.

The firm's team is led by Alejandro Muñoz (Lawyer and Notary Public) and Francisco Molina (Partner and Consultant), who bring specialized knowledge of cryptocurrency regulations, tokenization frameworks, and El Salvador's unique position as the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender.
