A Company may be created in Cyprus as a legal entity by being registered under the provisions of the Cyprus Companies Law, CAP 113.

The following types of Companies are recognized by the Cyprus Law:

• Company with limited liability by shares
• Company with limited liability by guarantee, with or without shares

The basic characteristic of a limited liability Company is that the members’ (shareholders’) liability is limited to the nominal value of the shares subscribed by them; and of a Company by guarantee, is that members’ liability is limited, on winding up, to the extent agreed upon. Companies with limited liability by shares may be private or public.

Most investors choose the corporate format of a Private Limited Company. For the registration of a Private Limited Company, the Company will need to follow the procedure for permission to be obtained from the Registrar of Companies for it to be registered. Once this procedure is followed, the new company will be able to commence its operations.

It is a legal requirement that an International Business Company should have at least one shareholder, one director, a secretary and registered office. If the beneficial owners require complete anonymity, the law allows nominee companies to be used to hold the shares in trust without the names of the beneficial owners being disclosed publicly. Being nominees, we can act on your behalf during the initial registration process and open bank accounts for you, without you physically being present in Cyprus.

The Cyprus legislation provides the flexibility by appointing nominees and our office guarantees full confidentiality of anonymity, but in practice, the client will be registered beneficial owner of this company. In all cases, beneficial owners are supplied with a trust deed and an instrument of transfer authorising the nominees to hold shares in trust for the undisclosed beneficiaries.

The last and significant advantage is the practice of shelf companies. By acquiring a shelf company, the client avoids delays and uncertainty regarding the name and duration of registering a company and can start operating its business immediately.

Our dedicated team consists of company incorporation specialists and multitask professionals including lawyers, accountants, financial advisors, banking administrators who can undertake the whole process of registering your International Business Company from start to finish.
