Well, first of you will need to register a Holding company in Cyprus which is a very simple process, make sure the Cyprus Company Formation takes place as an IBC and that it is not registered for VAT.
The first Cyprus company we register now has the only purpose to be a holding company therefore we do not need any VAT registration but we what we will need is a bank account with a Cyprus bank.
The registration of a Cyprus company as a holding company takes about 7 days as well as any regular Cyprus company formation takes, the time frame depends on name approval by the Cypriot authorities, if the company name doesn’t matter a instrument to speed up the registration process, is to buy a Shelf Company (Ready-Made company) in Cyprus, here we will only wait for a change in ownership which properly only takes a few days.
Now we have successfully registered our Cyprus Company as an Holding Company and are ready to register another company which will be used for our business activities, best to do here is to register the company VAT and to have it registered with nominee director, even if it is possible to have our Cyprus Holding Company to be an director of the Cyprus company then it is advisable to have a Nominee director for that company. When choosing a nominee director the beneficial owner of the company will receive a POA (Power of attorney) which give full access to the company and to trade and close deals on behalf of this company, so no need to worry about this part.
Once the second Cyprus company formation has taken place you are ready to trade, the benefit to have a Holding company in Cyprus is for TAX purposes and for this company to receive dividend from the daughter company without paying any tax. Furthermore it is easy with a Holding Company in the Top of your company group structure to extend your activities to any other jurisdiction worldwide.
Your Holding company in Cyprus is also protected from any creditors that want access to it because of the daughter’s company liabilities which might not have been fulfillment.
Many private investors and business people have Holding Companies in Cyprus for the purpose to make small or large investments in other companies in non Offshore Jurisdictions due to the benefits of tax savings and privacy protection they get.
