Who can register a company in Cyprus?

Any individual or legal entity, regardless of nationality or residency, can register a company in Cyprus. The country maintains an open and business-friendly legal framework, making it one of the most attractive jurisdictions for international company formation within the European Union. Register a company in Cyprus, eligible for:

• EU and non-EU citizens

There are no nationality restrictions. Both residents and non-residents of Cyprus can incorporate companies.

• Individual entrepreneurs and corporate entities

Companies can be registered by private individuals, foreign corporations, or investment holding structures.

• Startups, holding companies, and trading firms

Cyprus company law supports various business models, including e-commerce, consulting, international trade, asset protection, and intellectual property management.

Key Requirements:

• At least one shareholder and one director (can be the same person; individuals or corporate bodies)
• A Cyprus-registered office address is mandatory
• Appointment of a Cyprus-resident director is recommended to secure local tax residency
• Minimum share capital (usually €1,000 for private companies, though there is no fixed legal minimum)

Registering a company in Cyprus is open to both individuals and entities globally, provided all compliance obligations such as due diligence (KYC), beneficial ownership declaration, and AML checks are met.
