Which businesses are suitable for Cyprus?

Cyprus LTD registration is typically considered by entrepreneurs and international companies seeking a corporate structure in an EU jurisdiction. During the consultation, WoBorders assesses the planned business activities, ownership structure, and operating model to determine whether Cyprus suits the specific business.

IT companies, SaaS projects, E-commerce, and service businesses

Cyprus is suitable for IT companies, SaaS projects, and service businesses operating with clients in the EU and beyond. A Cyprus LTD allows businesses to establish a European legal presence, work with international contracts, and structure operations within a clear and predictable corporate framework

Holding company

Cyprus is frequently used as a jurisdiction for establishing holding structures. An LTD may act as a parent company holding shares in other businesses, accumulating dividend flows, and serving as an element of an international group. This model is suitable for entrepreneurs building long-term asset ownership structures

Cyprus can be an option for establishing a new EU legal entity or restructuring an international business. It is suitable for founders building a new operational model, scaling their business, or forming an international group with a Cyprus-based legal entity

Advantages of a Cyprus company

Cyprus is an EU jurisdiction with strong international business practice, a clear corporate law framework, and a convenient environment for working with global counterparties

Fully remote

Cyprus LTD registration can be handled remotely. Most procedures are managed online, allowing you to launch the company without being physically present, if the structure allows it

English Corporate Law

Cyprus corporate law is based on English law. This creates a familiar and transparent structure for international partners, investors, and banks—especially for group companies

A convenient jurisdiction for international groups

Cyprus is often used as part of an international structure—for shareholding, centralized management, or the establishment of an EU holding entity within a group

Describe your request

    Frequently asked questions about company registration in Cyprus

    Can a non-resident open a company in Cyprus?

    Yes. Non-residents can be founders and shareholders of a Cyprus LTD. When structuring the company, consider requirements for directors, the corporate secretary, the registered office, and tax residency.

    What type of company can be registered in Cyprus?

    For international small and medium-sized businesses, the most commonly used structure is a Private Company Limited by Shares (LTD). The appropriate corporate form and structure depend on the business activity, ownership structure, and planned operations.

    How much does it cost to register a company in Cyprus?

    The cost depends on the package you choose and the level of corporate support you need. WoBorders packages cover registration procedures, a registered office, corporate secretary services, and any additional services required for the specific structure.

     

    Can a Cyprus company be managed remotely?

    Most corporate procedures can be handled remotely. However, the place of effective management may affect the company’s tax residency, so the management structure should be determined based on the specific business model.

     

    Can a non-resident open a business account for a Cyprus company?

    Yes, but opening an account isn't automatically part of company registration. The bank or payment institution conducts its own compliance checks and may request information about the company’s owners, business activities, source of funds, and planned transactions.
