LEGAL SYSTEM
Common Law Legal Framework
As a former British colony, Cyprus maintains a legal system based on Common Law, offering contractual flexibility, predictable jurisprudence and a familiar legal environment for Anglo-Saxon investors. The Companies Law is directly inspired by British law, facilitating sophisticated and internationally recognised corporate structures.
STRATEGIC HUB
Bridge Between Three Continents
Cyprus is strategically located at the intersection of Europe, Asia and Africa. It has been a member of the EU since 2004 and the Eurozone since 2008, offering direct access to the single market. With over 65 double tax treaties, an IP Box regime for intellectual property and full exemption on inbound dividends, Cyprus is the jurisdiction of choice for international holding and trading structures.

ROUTE SHEET
Incorporation Protocol
We have standardised international bureaucratic complexity into a linear and efficient process. Our team centralises legal, tax and administrative management, allowing you to operate in your chosen jurisdiction with full assurance of regulatory compliance.
01. Compliance Validation (KYC)
Initiation of the dossier by digitally compiling basic documentation (Passport and Proof of Residence). We perform legal and regulatory validation (AML) in less than 24 hours to ensure a seamless process.
02. Incorporation and Official Registration
Drafting of articles of association and preparation of articles of association in accordance with local regulations. We manage the filing with the competent registration authority and settle the governmental fees until the Certificate of Incorporation is obtained.
03. Operational Activation and Banking
Formal delivery of the ‘Corporate Set’ with the company's legal documents. In this final phase, we execute the introductions with the selected financial institutions or EMIs to enable the company's treasury.
We were looking for legal certainty to operate in Europe, but bureaucracy was holding us back. Your team not only handled the registration, but also advised us on the optimal tax structure. We feel we have an in-house legal department.
