Considering Moving and Doing Business in Cyprus? What’s Next?
Cyprus attracts entrepreneurs from all over the world with business-friendly regulations and a high standard of living. You can benefit from favorable tax policies, which help your business grow while enjoying a Mediterranean climate and a high level of security.

What Does the Process Look Like?
1. Company Registration
2. Position in the Company
- To take full advantage of available benefits, you must hold a director’s position in the Cypriot company.
3. Bank Accounts
- At least two bank accounts are useful: a corporate account and a personal account for the business owner.
4. Obtaining Residency
- This is usually done through official employment in your own company.
