Cyprus Company Formation Corporate Services

We provide our clients with support across the full corporate lifecycle, from initial structuring and incorporation to registered office services, company administration, accounting and audit coordination, tax compliance support, fiduciary services and banking introduction assistance.
Our role is to help you establish a company that is properly structured, fully documented and ready to meet the expectations of banks, regulators, investors and international counterparties.
Set Up Your Cyprus Company Correctly
A Cyprus company should be built with a clear commercial purpose, an appropriate ownership structure and reliable governance procedures.

We help reduce the risk of incomplete records, delayed onboarding, compliance gaps and costly remediation later.

FBS Cyprus provides ongoing support with statutory filings, board and shareholder administration, corporate record-keeping, accounting and audit coordination, tax compliance and governance documentation.
We also assist clients in preparing for banking and third-party due diligence by helping ensure that ownership, business activity, source of funds and corporate documentation are presented clearly and consistently.

Cyprus International Trusts
Protect wealth – Plan succession – Preserve continuity
A Cyprus International Trust can provide international families, entrepreneurs and investors with a flexible framework for structuring wealth, holding international assets and planning for future generations.
FBS Cyprus supports the establishment and ongoing administration of Cyprus International Trusts, helping ensure that each structure is properly documented, professionally governed and maintained in line with applicable legal and compliance requirements.
One Structure for Long-Term Planning
A Cyprus International Trust separates the legal ownership of assets from the individuals or entities that benefit from them. Assets are transferred by the settlor to a trustee to be held on trust and managed in accordance with the terms of the trust deed and for the benefit of the beneficiaries.
When carefully structured, a trust can support succession planning, family wealth continuity, international investment holding, asset protection planning and the long-term governance of family or business interests.
The trust may also include a protector, providing an additional level of oversight over the trustee and important decisions.
Flexible, Internationally Focused and Professionally Governed
Cyprus combines an EU-based legal environment with trust legislation founded on English common law principles. A Cyprus International Trust can hold a wide range of assets, including company shares, investment portfolios, real estate, intellectual property, cash and international business interests.
The structure can also accommodate appropriate reserved powers for the settlor, allowing a carefully balanced level of involvement without undermining the trustee’s responsibilities.
Professional Trust Administration
Establishing the trust is only the beginning. Its long-term effectiveness depends on consistent governance, accurate records, regulatory compliance and proper coordination between trustees, legal advisers, tax professionals and other specialists.
FBS Cyprus provides support with trust formation, AML and KYC onboarding, trustee and fiduciary administration, beneficial ownership registration, governance documentation, beneficiary administration and ongoing compliance coordination.
Where the trust owns Cyprus companies or other corporate vehicles, we can also coordinate the related company administration, accounting, audit, tax compliance and banking introduction support.
Plan with Clarity and Confidence
Every trust should reflect a genuine long-term purpose and the specific circumstances of the settlor, beneficiaries and assets involved.
FBS Cyprus helps you build and maintain a carefully governed structure designed to support continuity, responsible wealth planning and effective administration across generations and jurisdictions.
Cyprus Permanent Residence by Investment
Your long-term base in Cyprus
Cyprus offers non-EU individuals and their families the opportunity to secure permanent residence through a qualifying investment, providing a long-term connection to an EU jurisdiction with a stable legal environment, an established international business community and an attractive Mediterranean lifestyle.
For many applicants, the programme offers more than residence alone. It can provide greater certainty for family planning, investment activity and future relocation, while creating a stronger personal and commercial connection to Cyprus. Importantly, the programme is designed to offer flexibility and does not require applicants to live on the island full-time.
Whether your priority is family relocation, investment, greater mobility, long-term residence planning or establishing a European base for your personal and business interests, the right structure and preparation are essential from the outset.
How the Programme Works
Eligible applicants can qualify through an investment of at least €300,000, choosing from recognised routes including new residential property, qualifying commercial real estate, an investment in an eligible Cyprus company or qualifying Cyprus investment funds. Applicants must also demonstrate secure annual income of at least €50,000, with additional amounts required for a spouse and dependent children. The official estimated examination period is approximately two months from submission of a complete application, subject to meeting all applicable criteria.
FBS Cyprus supports you throughout the process. We help assess your eligibility, review the available investment routes, coordinate the qualifying investment, organise the required supporting documentation and manage the application process in a structured and compliant manner.
Our role is to make the process clear and manageable. We coordinate with the relevant professional advisers and service providers, help ensure that documentation is complete and properly prepared and support you in meeting the applicable investment, due diligence and application requirements.
We also assist with the practical steps surrounding your Cyprus presence, helping ensure that your residence application fits appropriately within your wider family, investment and business objectives.
A secure residence solution – A strategic European base – Professional support every step of the way
Establish your Cyprus residence on a properly structured and professionally managed basis, with experienced support from initial planning through to application and ongoing requirements.

Cyprus Forex Company Formation
Build your regulated business on the right foundation
Cyprus is a recognised European base for forex brokers, CFD providers, investment firms and fintech businesses seeking to operate within an established EU regulatory environment.
For regulated businesses, the right structure matters from day one. Governance, ownership, management, AML and KYC controls, operational substance and reporting arrangements all need to support the regulatory permissions being sought and the way the business will operate in practice.
FBS Cyprus helps you put that foundation in place
We coordinate the corporate and administrative framework around your business, including company formation, governance support, substance arrangements, compliance infrastructure, accounting and audit coordination, banking introductions and ongoing administration.
Compliance Built-In from the Start
The company needs clear decision-making, defined responsibilities, appropriate internal controls and a credible operating presence. Directors, shareholders, senior management and key function holders must fit within a structure that demonstrates accountability, transparency and effective oversight.
We help ensure that the corporate framework is aligned with these expectations from the outset, reducing the risk of unnecessary restructuring, delays and compliance gaps later.
Stronger Governance – Better Regulatory Readiness
A well-prepared structure supports a smoother licensing process and a stronger business once authorisation is obtained.
We work alongside legal, regulatory and compliance advisers to help coordinate the practical requirements around governance, AML and KYC, corporate records, board administration, substance and ongoing statutory obligations.
The goal is simple: to create a business that is not only incorporated in Cyprus, but properly organised to operate in a regulated environment.
Substance That Supports the Business
Regulated firms are expected to demonstrate genuine operational capacity.
Depending on the business model and permissions being sought, this may include local management, office arrangements, qualified personnel, compliance functions, accounting infrastructure, internal controls and documented board oversight.
FBS Cyprus helps coordinate these practical requirements so that your Cyprus presence supports both regulatory expectations and day-to-day operations.
Support Beyond Licensing
Authorisation is only the beginning.
Once operational, the company must continue to meet its corporate, regulatory, AML, accounting, audit, tax and governance obligations. Strong ongoing administration helps keep filings on time, records complete, decisions properly documented and the business ready for regulatory, banking and counterparty review.
We provide long-term corporate and administrative support designed to help your business remain organised, compliant and operationally resilient as it grows.
