You want a company that is set up properly from day one. We establish it with the governance, substance and records it needs.

HomeBusinesses and EntrepreneursCompany Formation and Governance in Cyprus

From 1 January 2026, Cyprus companies pay corporate income tax at 15%.
The rate is only one part of the decision. Substance, banking and governance decide whether the company works.

Common questions

How long does it take to register a company in Cyprus?
After the company name is approved, registration with the Registrar of Companies usually takes a matter of days, depending on the Registrar's workload and how quickly the documents are signed. Bank account opening often takes longer and should be planned from the start.

Is a Cyprus company automatically tax resident in Cyprus?
Not necessarily. A company is generally tax resident where it is managed and controlled. Since 2023, a Cyprus-incorporated company may also be treated as tax resident in Cyprus if it is not tax resident anywhere else, subject to the applicable conditions.
