How you can move you activities and business to a Cyprus Holding Company.
Posted by peter in Cyprus Company on May 29, 2009
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.

Register a Cyprus company as IBC, how is that possible?
Posted by peter in Cyprus Company Formation on May 26, 2009
Registering a company in Cyprus isn’t difficult and the requirements are not overwhelming for anyone even not if it is the first time you ever register a company. The entire registration process only takes a few days to a week and is hassle free the offshore agency which will register the company for you in Cyprus is taking care of all steps and of the Cypriot authorities.
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.
It is legal to move assets and funds between Cyprus companies without to be liable for any local tax also it is allowed to make loans in Cyprus companies which for new starting entrepreneurs can be of benefit and which aren’t allowed in many of the other European countries at all.
CCLOGIC LLC has specialized in the Cyprus company formation and the opening of bank accounts in Cyprus, in addition to our regular services we help clients worldwide with IBC registrations and to buy Shelf Companies in Cyprus (Ready-Made) companies.

Cyprus Company Formation as Offshore Company, first choice?
Posted by peter in Cyprus Company Formation on May 25, 2009
When you consider registering a company in Cyprus you will also need a bank account for this company which typically needs to be opened in Cyprus. A Cyprus Company Formation can take place by just providing a few documents and isn’t any difficult.
The major benefits by choosing to register a company in Cyprus are that Cyprus is part of the European Union which opens the door for a large number of banks and financial institutions. It is important that when you register you company in Cyprus then you can’t open a business bank account before the company has been registered, some might think it can be made in one task (both company registration and the opening of a bank account in Cyprus) however, you will have to wait until the company has been approved for registration with the authorities in Cyprus which often is a process of 7 days.
Further, it is important to make it clear to your offshore company registration agency what you plan to use the company for and how it should be structured. For instant in Cyprus it is possible to have the company registered with nominee directors and shareholders which will gives you another level of protection and hide the beneficial owner of the Cyprus Company from the companies house in Cyprus. When using nominee shareholders and director you can still open a business bank account in Cyprus for the company and you will still have control of the company as if you would be the official director and owner of the company, it makes no different, this is ensured through a P.O.A. a power of attorney which give you the rights to act and close business deals on behalf of the company and will not limit you in any way.
When registering a company in Cyprus with nominee shareholders and directors it also means it is like
anonymous company, when this company opens a Cyprus bank account it means the bank account will also become anonymous which as another level of security is protected by the banking secrecy in Cyprus.
Compared to many other offshore jurisdictions and low tax countries, a company registered in Cyprus will give you more benefits, more freedom to act and no limitation on whatever company structure you might need or whatever business you want conducting through this company. Furthermore a Cyprus Company Formation gives you the largest number of banks and financial institutions available that also really would like to enter into any agreement with your company
