Cyprus Company Incorporation Lawyers
Cyprus company formation from €1,050 + VAT, handled by one legal team from the first structure call to registration, tax numbers and bank onboarding.
Free consultation · No commitment · We respond within 24 hours
We form Cyprus private companies for founders in Cyprus and abroad. A complete registration normally takes 5 to 7 working days after name approval, subject to the Registrar and a complete KYC file. Our fixed legal fee starts at €1,050 + VAT, plus Registrar fees of €165 with share capital or €235 without. Start with a free consultation so we can confirm the right package, documents and realistic end-to-end timing.
Who this company formation service is for
We act for founders, consultants, investors and international groups that need a Cyprus company ready to own assets, invoice customers, employ people or hold investments. Before filing, we confirm the intended activity, ownership, directors, registered office, secretary and banking needs so the company is built around the real business rather than a generic incorporation form.
Our written scope can cover name reservation, constitutional documents, KYC and UBO onboarding, Registrar filing, certified corporate documents, tax and VAT registrations where applicable, registered office, company secretary, Cyprus governance and bank-account support. The chosen package and every third-party cost are confirmed before work begins; accounting, payroll and any required audit or review remain separately scoped ongoing services.

Questions before you instruct us
Our fixed fees are €1,050 + VAT for Basic, if you already have a registered office and secretary; €2,300 + VAT for Standard, if you will be your own director living in Cyprus; and €3,900 + VAT for Enterprise, if you stay abroad or use the 60-day rule and need the company managed from Cyprus. Registrar fees are added at cost: €165 for a company with share capital or €235 without, plus €100 for expedited examination. The fee is confirmed in writing before you pay.
Name approval takes 3 to 4 working days, or is immediate if you use one of our pre-approved names. Registration then takes about 5 to 7 working days once we hold your complete due-diligence documents. Expedited Registrar examination is available for €100. These are operational estimates, not guaranteed Registrar deadlines.
Usually no. We prepare and file the incorporation remotely once identity, address, ownership and source-of-funds checks are complete. Certified or apostilled documents may be required, and banks apply their own onboarding rules: an online corporate account normally opens within days, while a local bank account can take one to two months and may involve a video interview.
Every package includes name reservation, the memorandum and articles, preparation and filing of HE1 (the lawyer's statutory declaration), HE2 (registered office) and HE3 (first directors and secretary), the UBO filing, and registration for tax, VAT, VIES and OSS where applicable. Registered office, company secretary, a resident director and bank onboarding depend on the package you choose.
Yes. Cyprus companies may be wholly foreign-owned, with no local shareholder requirement. Tax residence is a separate question: a Cyprus-incorporated company is treated as resident unless a treaty assigns residence elsewhere, and management and control is judged on where decisions are actually made, not on a fixed number of resident directors.
You receive the certificate of incorporation, the company registration number and your tax and VAT numbers, then open the bank account. Ongoing duties include the UBO register, the annual return (HE32), IFRS financial statements with the audit or review treatment that applies to your company, provisional and annual tax returns and quarterly VAT returns. We provide a compliance calendar and can take over the accounting, VAT and audit.
