International corporate services in Cyprus
We design and maintain cross-border structures for international groups, investors and entrepreneurs that use Cyprus as a holding, financing or operating platform. Our work joins company law, tax residence, substance and banking, because a weakness in any one of them affects the whole structure.
How we help
- Holding, financing and investment structures through Cyprus
- Redomiciliation of companies into and out of Cyprus
- Cross-border mergers and group reorganisations
- Use of Cyprus double tax treaties and EU directives, subject to substance and anti-abuse rules
- Substance, management and control, and economic presence in Cyprus
- Ongoing corporate administration and compliance for international groups
Company formation in other jurisdictions
Many structures need entities outside Cyprus: an EU operating company, a UK subsidiary or a vehicle in another financial centre. We advise on where each entity should sit, coordinate its formation with trusted local counsel, and keep the group's documents, governance and compliance consistent.
How we help
- Choice of jurisdiction for holding, operating and investment entities
- Formation of companies in EU and other jurisdictions through local counsel
- Group charts, intra-group agreements and governance across entities
- Directors, registered offices and beneficial ownership filings abroad
- Bank account opening for foreign entities
- Redomiciliation, mergers and closure of entities no longer needed
Relocating your business to Cyprus
We advise international companies, technology groups and family businesses on moving their headquarters, management or operations to Cyprus. The work brings together the corporate structure, tax residence, immigration for staff and their families, office premises and banking, in the right order.
How we help
- Planning the relocation of headquarters, management and decision-making to Cyprus
- Redomiciliation or new Cyprus holding and operating companies
- Work and residence permits for executives, staff and families, including through the Business Facilitation Unit where eligible
- Tax residence and non-domicile planning for relocating individuals
- Office premises, employment contracts and local substance
- Banking for the company and its people
