This country has a population of over 700,000 that offers the perfect environment to do business. With regards to the political atmosphere, the country has a presidential election every five years. At a closer look, you would note that the country’s political structure is western based and thus incorporating a company in the country is very easy and most laws are on the international level and thus one might not necessarily need a lot of help with its setting up as British law is used.

To enhance both the incorporation and running of a company the telecommunication system is up to standard and flight to neighboring countries and around the world is very frequent and convenient.

When incorporating a company is Cyprus, the main law used is the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap.113 that takes its roots from the English 1948 Companies Act. When a company is fully owned by foreigner, a private company is referred to as an international business company. If limited by shares a company can further be categorized as a Public or a Private company. Using the Partnerships Law, it provides for two general types of Partnerships.

The procedure for incorporation has been simplified over time and one starts with the submission of the Memorandum and Articles of Association to the registrar of Companies as well as an affidavit to a court of law accompanied by the appropriate registration fee. What the company is going to do is drafted in the Memorandum & Articles of Association and are usually very specific and to the point; this is mostly done by lawyers who are able to put everything in perspective.

Even after you have registered the company, there are some few rules that act as restrictions and protect you as well as the citizens and government. Some of these rules are that the company cannot undertake the business of banking, insurance or giving of financial services. This sounds very reasonable and straight to the point. Such is an example of the rules stated. All the documents and corporate documents are meant to be written in English or Greek. The registered office must also be in Cyprus. The whole process might take 5 days but this is subject to name approval. In a nutshell, that is how the companies are incorporated in Cyprus and the few rules that govern it. This now gives you a chance to jump in the next flight to Cyprus and start your business; as stated above, it is as easy and self-coordinated as flying a kite.

It is important that the company going to be registered in Cyprus has at least one shareholder, so that the shares may be registered in his name. However, in case the shareholder desires anonymity that can also, in most cases, be provided while registering a company in Cyprus. Company law in Cyprus also requires that every company in Cyprus, at the time of registration, should have a secretary. Another important legal requirement before registering a company in Cyprus, is the address of a registered office. Moreover, a bank reference is also required for each shareholder of the company. Any company to be registered in Cyprus must issue a share capital of at least 2000 shares, each comprising 1 Euro.

Foreigners no longer require the permission of the Central Bank of Cyprus to hold shares in, or register a company in Cyprus. Everyone, including Cypriots, Europeans and non-Europeans are treated equally, and the registration procedure has been overtly simplified. During the registration of the company in Cyprus, the beneficial shareholders need not be present in person. A company registered in Cyprus, comes into its own when used as part of a well designed international tax strategy.

Two ways can be taken while registering a company in Cyprus – the expedited and the non-expedited. Although there is no set time within which a company is registered in Cyprus, generally it takes within 10 to 18 working days. However, this period may vary depending on the workload of the Registrar of Companies, as well as whether the additional fees for the expedited service have been paid or not.

When you consider registering a company in Cyprus you should plan it and you should make it clear for yourself what the company is going to be used for and if it could be of benefit for you to have the company registered as an IBC (International Business Company) in Cyprus. A IBC is subject to no tax but requires the beneficial owner and shareholders o be foreigners and you are not allowed to conduct any business with other Cyprus companies and Cypriots in general.

The IBC has the benefit that you except the tax savings also can be anonymous, which in some case when people conduct business online is a requirement by the client. Others don’t care about the anonymity and just register the company with them self as beneficial owner and shareholder which automatically gives the company to qualify for an IBC registration.

An IBC company gives you the same benefits, asset protection and privacy as an regular Cyprus company formation just with the exception of the tax savings. However, you should never forget about your local laws in your home country which requires you to pay tax on income from this company, best advice is to ask some tax advisory service which will be able to tell you exactly how much tax you have to pa (if any) and which instruments are used to reduce the tax payment to a minimum.

Some of the key benefits having a Cyprus offshore company are the possibilities for assets and equity protection such company gives, also it is difficult for creditors and others to access your funds and assets this would require a local court order which obviously isn’t easy to get.

When registering a company in Cyprus it is important to know that there are two types of nominee services, the local Cypriot nominee’s and the foreign nominees, the difference are that if a foreign nominee service is used the company can be registered as IBC (International Business Company) which is subject to cero tax, however, the beneficial owner of that company will have to pay income tax in the country of residence.

Important to know:

It is important that when you register a Cyprus company that you make sure that you know exactly what the purpose is of the registration and how and where you will conduct business with the company in Cyprus.

Why should I need a European bank when I want to accept credit cards?

The reasons are many but often it is because of the accepted business and because it is often very complicated and expansive to have the merchant account or the Acquiring bank in an Offshore jurisdiction to handle the transactions for you. Our experience is that a company in Cyprus will give you all that what a offshore company for instant in Panama, BVI or Seychelles also have, but on top of this you will be able to have the doors open to also accept credit cards inexpensive and with a reliable source. Also the speed of Wire Transfers hit your bank account is incredible, it often only takes a day or two compared to an transfer which goes to a offshore bank it will take weeks.

When you considering a company in Cyprus you must look for the possibility to also be able to open a bank account in Cyprus, a Cyprus Company Formation without a bank account in Cyprus makes no sense and is often where most Agencies fail. The reason for this statement is that you will need to have a bank account for your company in Cyprus else the Acquiring bank (which is providing the credit card acceptance) won’t accept you as a merchant. The bank account in Cyprus which is opened in the name of your Cyprus Company will also give the company credibility towards the banks since there is already one bank which have made the due diligence on that company in Cyprus.

Don’t get fooled into any Agency which is trying to open a bank account for your company in Cyprus in a other country, it won’t work the same as if both is located in the same country.

For your Cyprus Bank Account you will also become a Visa Debit card which can be used on any ATM worldwide.

Now you have a Cyprus Company and a Cyprus bank account, in order to accept credit card payments on your website with a European Acquiring Bank and a European Payment Services provider, you will need to open a Merchant Account, the applicant for this Merchant account is the Cyprus company and the banking details are your Cyprus bank account.

The Acquiring banks in Europe accept companies from Cyprus as merchants and it is not that complicated to get through the process to become a Merchant Account for the Cyprus Company, but it needs patience and to be pro active, those two are the main reason for why merchant fail to complete the process of becoming a merchant account.

Your Cyprus Company will give you 100% assets protection when it is setup correctly, failing to do so can harm your protection, further a Cyprus Company which is registered as an International Business Company can conduct business worldwide but not in Cyprus, due to this regulation the IBC Cyprus Company is subject to 0% tax which is the reason many choose to register a Cyprus Company as IBC.
