Frequently Asked Questions
Nominee and administrative services can be lawful when provided within the applicable regulatory, AML, sanctions, disclosure, and Companies Law framework. A nominee shareholder may hold shares under a declaration of trust. A nominee director is different: the appointee is a director in law, owes duties to the company, and cannot act as a mere cipher who follows the beneficial owner's instructions regardless of those duties.
No, and any provider who promises this is offering something unlawful. A nominee keeps your name off the public company register, which is searchable by anyone, but Cyprus operates a beneficial ownership (UBO) register, so your identity as ultimate beneficial owner is disclosed confidentially to the authorities regardless of the nominee. The correct description is privacy from the public, not secrecy from the state.
No. A Cyprus-incorporated company is generally resident under the incorporation test unless an applicable double-tax treaty assigns residence to another state. Management and control in Cyprus is an independent basis and remains important for treaties, substance, and permanent-establishment analysis. A resident director can support the facts, but no director-residence count or nominee appointment guarantees the outcome.
The lawful package depends on whether the service concerns shares, directorship, secretary, or registered office. A declaration of trust can record beneficial ownership of nominee-held shares, while governance and service agreements allocate reserved matters and reporting. They cannot remove a director's independent duties. Appointment, removal, resignation, transfers, and powers of attorney must follow the Companies Law, the articles, bank mandates, and the signed terms; no undated document should be marketed as an unconditional guarantee of control.
Not automatically. Access depends on the mandate and resolutions accepted by the bank. A nominee director can be excluded from signatory authority where the bank accepts that structure, but the final arrangement must be verified. The director is also not limited to appearing on a register: the office carries real legal duties and responsibilities.
The registered office is the company's official address in Cyprus, required for every company from incorporation under the Companies Law, Cap. 113. It is the address for correspondence from the Registrar of Companies and the Tax Department, for the service of legal documents, and for keeping the statutory registers. A company without a valid registered office cannot be incorporated and, if existing, risks missing official notices, penalties and strike-off.
Yes. Every Cyprus company must have a company secretary, who files the annual return (form HE32), records changes of officers and shareholders and maintains the statutory registers. We can act as your professional secretary so these filings are always made on time, avoiding the penalties and strike-off risk that follow missed returns.
The written scope identifies whether the service concerns a director, shareholder, secretary, or registered office and sets out the relevant governance, trust, authority, UBO, mail-handling, and compliance documents. Terms and pricing depend on risk and scope. A director service is not sold as a name-only appointment or as a substitute for genuine management and control.
