The remote, step-by-step process for forming a Cyprus private limited company as a non-resident.
Most founders register a private limited company (Ltd). We check that your preferred name is available and submit it to the Registrar of Companies for approval.
Cyprus, like every EU state, applies anti-money-laundering checks. You supply certified identity and address documents for the officers and beneficial owners, plus a short business description.
We prepare the memorandum and articles of association and the formation forms. A regulated Cyprus agent files everything with the Registrar on your behalf.
You receive the certificate of formation, the memorandum and articles, and the certificates of directors, shareholders and registered office, usually within 5 to 10 working days.
With the company formed, we introduce you to suitable banks or EMIs and to licensed accountants for VAT, bookkeeping and audit, so you can start trading and stay compliant.
Yes. The registration itself is filed by a regulated Cyprus agent, and you complete your part remotely by sending certified documents and signing the required forms. In most cases you never need to travel to Cyprus.
For each director, shareholder and beneficial owner you typically need a certified passport copy, a recent proof of address (such as a utility bill or bank statement), and a short description of the intended business activity for due diligence.
After name approval and complete documents, registration usually takes about 5 to 10 working days.
