Remotely Process Your Cyprus PCL Company Incorporation in About 16 Business Days
Cyprus company incorporation with TKEG Expat — we register your Cypriot Private Company Limited by Shares (Ltd) under Cyprus Companies Law with the Registrar of Companies: name reservation, memorandum and articles of association, standard share capital (1,000 shares), tax identification number (TIC), and Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) registration. Cypriot law requires a local registered office (our virtual address covers it). Cyprus does not mandate a local nominee director or secretary, but without local substance your company may struggle to open bank accounts and access tax treaty benefits — ask about substance services. EU-member Cyprus offers one of Europe's lowest corporate tax rates.
