A focused practice across the corporate lifecycle.

Service 01

Company Formation & Business Set-Up

Company formation and business set-up in Cyprus

Incorporate in Cyprus and abroad with the right structure from day one.

We help founders and groups choose the right entity, get it incorporated, and complete every registration that follows. The structure we recommend is built around what the business actually does, how it's taxed, and how it needs to run day to day.

What's included

  • Advice on the right entity and ownership structure, whether that's a Cyprus Ltd, a holding company, a branch, or an international setup
  • Name approval and incorporation with the Registrar of Companies
  • Memorandum and Articles of Association, drafted and filed
  • Tax and VAT registration, plus employer registration where you'll be hiring
  • Registered office, company secretary and nominee services if you need them
  • A complete post-incorporation pack: registers, certificates, corporate seal and opening resolutions

How it works

01
Scope
We confirm the objective, who owns what, the jurisdictions involved, and whether any activity needs a licence.
02
Structure
We recommend the entity and ownership chain, keeping tax and banking in view from the start.
03
Incorporate
We file for incorporation and handle every statutory registration that goes with it.
04
Hand over
You get a company that's ready to operate, with all its corporate records already in place.

Corporate Bank Account Opening

Corporate bank account opening

Banking relationships that hold up to modern compliance reviews.

Opening a corporate account is where a lot of structures stall. We prepare the full KYC and source-of-funds file, match you to banks that fit your profile, and carry the application all the way through to an open account.

What's included

  • A read on your banking needs and which partners are realistic for your profile
  • Full KYC and source-of-funds and source-of-wealth documentation
  • A business rationale and account-activity narrative written to the standard compliance teams expect
  • Introductions to banks and EMIs in Cyprus and selected EU and international jurisdictions
  • Day-to-day management of the application, including the back-and-forth on queries
  • Help setting up e-banking and payments once the account is live

How it works

Brief
We talk through the activity, the ownership, and the money flows the bank will want to understand.
02
Prepare
We assemble the KYC, the source-of-funds file and every supporting document.
03

Licensing & Regulatory Assistance

Licensing and regulatory assistance

Authorisations, permits, and a steady line to the regulator.

We help clients secure licences in established offshore jurisdictions including South Africa, Seychelles, Mauritius and Anjouan. We draft the application, file it, and stay with it through the regulator's review. Once you're authorised, we keep the obligations that come with the licence on track.

What's included

  • A feasibility check and gap analysis for the licence your activity needs
  • Applications prepared for offshore regulators across South Africa, Seychelles, Mauritius and Anjouan
  • Business plans, policies and procedures written to what the regulator actually looks for
  • Fit-and-proper files for directors, shareholders and key people
  • A single point of contact with the regulator through review and clarifications
  • Ongoing reporting and obligations management after you're licensed

How it works

We pin down the right licence and map its requirements against what you do.

03

Corporate Administration & Compliance

Corporate administration and compliance

The day-to-day corporate work, done properly and documented.

This is the ongoing work that keeps a company in good standing: registered office, statutory filings, board and shareholder procedures, AML and KYC oversight, UBO records and general corporate housekeeping. We handle it quietly and on time.

What's included

  • Registered office and company secretary services
  • Statutory filings, annual returns and Registrar maintenance
  • Board and shareholder meetings, with minutes and resolutions
  • Statutory registers and UBO records kept current
  • AML and KYC oversight, with periodic file reviews
  • A managed compliance calendar so nothing slips

Business & Corporate Planning

Business and corporate planning

Structuring decisions for growth, succession and cross-border operations.

When a business is growing or moving across borders, the corporate structure has to keep up. We work alongside your management and advisors on group structure, holding arrangements and intra-group flows, then turn that thinking into a setup that actually works on the ground.

What's included

  • Group and holding structures designed for growth and cross-border activity
  • A review of how intra-group flows, financing and operations fit together
  • Substance and operating-model planning that reflects current expectations
  • Succession, ownership and reorganisation planning
  • Coordination with your tax, legal and audit advisors
  • A roadmap that's practical enough to actually implement

How it works

01
Understand
We map the current structure, the goals and the constraints.
02
Model
We work through the options with your advisors, weighing tax and substance.
03
Plan
We agree on a preferred structure and a route to get there.
04

Marketing & Strategic Planning

Marketing and strategic planning

Positioning support for clients entering new markets.

For clients who want a clear go-to-market view alongside the corporate setup, this is the supporting layer: where you sit against the competition, how you enter, and how you talk to the people who matter, including regulators.

What's included

  • A market-entry read on your target jurisdictions
  • A look at your competitive position and value proposition
  • Go-to-market steps timed to your corporate and licensing schedule
  • A plan for communicating with stakeholders and regulators
  • Brand and messaging guidance for a regulated audience
  • A short, prioritised action plan
