FAQ

Cyprus company formation – FAQs

Is Cyprus suitable for our business type?

Cyprus can work well for trading, holding and IP-heavy businesses, but the right answer depends on where you operate, where management is based, and your investors’ expectations. We’ll walk through this with you before you commit.

Do directors or shareholders need to visit Cyprus?

Many incorporations can be handled remotely, but KYC, bank and substance requirements may influence this. We’ll flag any travel requirements early.

Can you help with banking?

We can support introductions to banks or electronic money institutions where appropriate. Final decisions always sit with the bank or EMI and are outside our control.

What substance requirements apply?

Requirements depend on your activities, tax residence considerations and regulatory expectations. We’ll outline options and work with your tax advisers where needed.
