Company Formation

Setting up a company in Cyprus is a streamlined process, offering numerous benefits such as a strategic EU location, favorable tax regulations, and an efficient legal framework. Our firm provides a full suite of services to help you navigate the registration process, ensuring your company complies with all local requirements.

Steps to Register a Company in Cyprus:

1. Select Your Company Name:
   • The first step is to choose a unique name for your company. We assist in submitting the name to the Registrar of Companies for approval. The approval process typically takes about 7 working days.
2. Complete and Submit the Application:
   • Once the company name is approved, we prepare and file the application to the Registrar of Companies, including all necessary details for incorporation.
3. Prepare Memorandum and Articles of Association:
   • Our firm drafts the Memorandum and Articles of Association, which outline the company’s purpose, structure, and operational rules. These key documents are required for the formal registration of your company.
4. Submission to the Registrar of Companies:
   • After preparation, we submit the Memorandum and Articles of Association, along with the details of the company’s officers and shareholders, to the Registrar of Companies to complete the registration process.

Additional Company Formation Services:

In addition to guiding you through the registration process, our firm offers the following essential services to support the smooth operation of your company:

• Nominee Directors:
  • We provide nominee director services for clients who prefer not to appear publicly as directors. This allows for local management and control to be executed in Cyprus, which is crucial for tax residency purposes.
• Nominee Shareholders:
  • If you wish to keep your ownership private, we can appoint nominee shareholders to hold shares on your behalf, while you retain full beneficial ownership of the company.
• Virtual Offices:
  • We offer virtual office services, including a prestigious business address, mail handling, and telephone services to establish a professional presence in Cyprus.
• Notarized Company Certificates:
  • Upon request, we provide notarized copies of your company’s certificates, such as the Certificate of Incorporation and Certificate of Shareholders, which may be needed for official purposes.

Company Shareholders:

Under Cyprus law, every company must have at least one shareholder, who can either be an individual or a corporate entity. For foreign nationals who prefer not to be listed as registered shareholders, nominee shareholders can be appointed to act on their behalf. In this arrangement, the beneficial ownership always remains with the non-resident owner.

Company Directors:

Cyprus law requires a minimum of one director, who may be an individual or a corporate body. To protect privacy or for tax residency purposes, foreign investors can appoint nominee directors. These directors execute board meetings and resolutions within Cyprus, helping to ensure that management and control is exercised locally.

Registered Office:

Every company in Cyprus must have a registered physical address to receive official correspondence, legal notices, and communications from government bodies, investors, banks, and other parties. Our law firm is often appointed as the company’s registered office, offering facilities such as fax, telephone, and mail handling to ensure seamless communication.
