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.
