    What is the most popular company type in Cyprus?

    The most commonly used structure is the Private Company Limited by Shares (LTD). It is a flexible format suitable for B2B activities, service companies, and holding structures within the EU.

    Can business be conducted remotely outside Cyprus?

    Yes, a Cyprus company can be managed remotely. However, it is important to structure management and corporate procedures properly to ensure compliance with local regulatory requirements.

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