Thinking about doing business, investing, or relocating to Cyprus? Start with the right questions.
CYPRUS Your Gateway to Business and Residence is a practical guide for entrepreneurs, investors, international businesses, professionals and individuals considering Cyprus as a place to establish, invest, work, relocate and grow.
Rather than beginning with the question, "How do I register a Cyprus company?", Nikolaos Akkizidis encourages readers to ask something more important:
What am I trying to achieve-and is Cyprus the right place to help me achieve it?
Drawing on his experience in financial services, compliance, governance and international business, the author guides readers through the interconnected issues that should be considered before and after establishing in Cyprus.
The book explores:
- choosing the right Cyprus business structure
- company formation and beneficial ownership
- corporate and personal tax residency
- substance and international taxation
- banking and Source of Funds requirements
- AML, KYC and compliance
- shareholder and related-party financing
- relocation for EU and non-EU citizens
- accounting, audit, VAT and payroll
- corporate governance and ongoing administration
- financing, investors, valuation and business growth
- succession, restructuring and exit planning
Practical checklists and real-world decision frameworks throughout the book help readers understand not only what Cyprus can offer, but also what responsible establishment and long-term operation require.
This is not a book about finding shortcuts.
It is about creating structures that make commercial sense, can withstand scrutiny and remain explainable as the business develops.
Purpose before structure.
Registration is the beginning, not the objective.
Compliance does not reject good business. It rejects unexplained risk.
Whether you are considering a Cyprus company, an investment structure, personal relocation or a long-term European base, this book will help you approach the decision with greater clarity and confidence.
Consider Cyprus. Understand Cyprus. Do It Right.
