Setting Up a Company in Cyprus:
With Us vs Self-Setup

Feature Professional Support Self-Setup
Choosing the Right Structure Clear guidance on private company, public company, or branch options based on business goals. Extra time spent comparing structures with limited clarity on the best fit.
Company Name & Filing Company name approval, incorporation details, and Registrar filing steps prepared with clear direction. Name approval, forms, and registration requirements must be checked independently.
Director & Secretary Details Support with required director and secretary information submitted during incorporation. Missing or inconsistent officer details may delay the registration process.
Registered Office Requirement Guidance on the Cyprus registered office requirement and related company documentation. Suitable local address arrangements must be reviewed and managed separately.
Tax & VAT Setup Support for tax registration and VAT registration guidance where applicable. Post-registration tax steps may be missed or handled without a clear sequence.
Annual Compliance Ongoing support for annual returns, financial statements, and company record updates. Filing deadlines and statutory updates must be tracked without structured support.
