Entrepreneurs and Independent Professionals

Bringing Structure to Your Business Activities

If you are operating a business or if you are working independently across borders, a Cyprus company can provide structure and clarity to your operations.

It can support you by:

• Separating your personal and business assets;
• Providing a recognised EU-based corporate presence;
• Centralising contracts, invoicing and income;
• Strengthening your credibility with international clients and partners.

Our job is to assist you with setting up your business properly from the start and we continue providing support to you as your business expands.

Executives and Consultants

Organising Cross-Border Engagements

Many executives and consultants work across multiple jurisdictions. A Cyprus company formation can be used to organise certain types of professional engagements in a structured way.

This may help with:

• Managing consultancy or advisory agreements;
• Streamlining invoicing and income management;
• Meeting international reporting and compliance expectations.

These arrangements need careful consideration, particularly around employment status, director remuneration, tax obligations and substance requirements.

We are here to guide you through these points to ensure that everything is correct.

Creative Professionals and Athletes

Managing International Income with Clarity

Entertainers, authors and athletes often deal with contracts and income from different countries. A Cyprus company may be used to organise these arrangements.

Important considerations include:

• Structuring contracts through a company;
• Clearly separating personal services from company income;
• Meeting international tax and reporting obligations.

We work alongside your legal and tax advisors to ensure everything is set up in a correct and transparent way. Cyprus Company Set Up and Uses By Individuals.

Intellectual Property Structuring

Managing and Licensing Your IP

If you own intellectual property such as trademarks, copyrights or patents, a Cyprus company can be used to manage and license these assets.

This can help you:

• Centralise ownership of your IP;
• Manage licensing arrangements more efficiently;
• Maintain proper oversight and proper documentation.

Any such structure needs to be aligned with Cyprus tax rules as well as OECD and EU standards on transparency and substance.

Holding and Managing Investments

A Clear Structure for International Assets

Many individuals use Cyprus companies to hold and manage investments such as shares, real estate or other assets.

This approach can offer:

• A single structure for managing multiple investments;
• Improved oversight and reporting;
• Easier transfer or succession planning over time.

We help you manage your company structure, ensuring it stays compliant and easy to navigate. Cyprus Company Set Up and Uses By Individuals

Succession and Long-Term Planning

Supporting Continuity Across Generations

A Cyprus company can also play a role in longer-term planning, assisting you organise how assets are held and eventually transferred.

This can support:

• Structured ownership of family assets;
• Smoother succession processes;
• Continuity in how assets are managed over time;

Cyprus Tax Residency and Personal Considerations

Understanding the Framework

If you are considering relocating to Cyprus, your personal tax position will depend on meeting specific residency criteria.

Cyprus tax residency is generally based on:

• The 183-day rule, or
• The 60-day rule, where certain conditions are met.

We help you understand how these rules apply in practice to ensure your personal arrangements are structured correctly and in line with reporting obligations.
