Legal Forms of Companies in Cyprus
Under Cyprus law, every incorporated business is considered a separate legal entity. When proceeding with Cyprus company registration, investors can choose between:
1: Private or Public LLC (Limited Liability Company)
LLCs in Cyprus are the most widely used corporate structure due to flexibility, limited liability protection, and tax advantages.
2: Company Limited by Shares
The most common choice for entrepreneurs. Ownership is represented by shares, and liability is limited to the amount unpaid on those shares.
3: Company Limited by Guarantee
Often chosen for non-profit organisations or structures not requiring share capital.
Auditnet provides full guidance on selecting the right legal form based on your business model, tax positioning, and long-term operational goals.
Selecting and Approving a Company Name
A critical first step in the registration of a company in Cyprus is selecting a unique company name.
The proposed name must be submitted to the Cyprus Registrar of Companies, with approval typically completed within 3 to 5 working days.
Auditnet ensures fast submission, availability checks, and compliance with Registrar naming rules to prevent delays.
Memorandum & Articles of Association
To register a company in Cyprus, the Memorandum and Articles of Association must be professionally drafted by a licensed legal practitioner. These documents outline:
- The company’s permitted activities
- The internal governance structure
- Rules for director appointments
- Shareholder rights and responsibilities
Auditnet prepares and submits these documents with full legal compliance and business-aligned structuring.
Shareholders and Share Capital Requirements
For a private LLC in Cyprus, the law permits 1 to 50 shareholders. The Registrar requires full details of shareholders, including:
- Full name
- Address
- Nationality
Regarding share capital, a common structure is €1,000 divided into 1,000 shares of €1 each. Cyprus legislation allows share capital in any currency, offering flexibility for international investors.
Directors, Secretary & Registered Office
To complete Cyprus company registration, each company must appoint:
Minimum Requirements
- At least one Company Director
- A Company Secretary (individual or corporate)
- A registered office address in Cyprus
Auditnet can provide nominee directors, secretarial services, and a registered office address to ensure full compliance and confidentiality where required.
Registration Timeframe
Once all documents are submitted and compliance checks are cleared, the standard timeframe to register a company in Cyprus is 5 to 10 working days.
Auditnet accelerates this timeline by ensuring all KYC, AML, and documentation are complete before submission.
Compliance & Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Checks
Before incorporation, the Registrar of Companies conducts a mandatory AML compliance review. This includes verifying:
- UBOs (Ultimate Beneficial Owners)
- Shareholders and directors
- Corporate entities involved in the structure
Our team performs preliminary compliance screening to reduce the risk of rejection and streamline the approval process.
Tax Residence & Reporting Obligations
For Non-Tax Resident Companies, Cyprus requires:
- Submission of annual tax returns to the Tax Authorities
- Filing with the Registrar of Companies
- Declaration of tax residency in the respective foreign jurisdiction
- Submission of annual financial records and statements
Auditnet supports both tax-resident and non-tax-resident companies in maintaining full reporting and compliance obligations.
