Here’s How to Do It—Easily.
With its Mediterranean lifestyle, strategic location, favorable tax regime, and business-friendly environment, Cyprus is fast becoming a top destination for entrepreneurs and companies looking to relocate. Whether you’re a digital nomad, an international company, or a startup looking for a European base, Cyprus offers all the right ingredients for success—with a smooth and straightforward relocation process.
Here’s everything you need to know to make your business relocation to Cyprus easy and efficient.
Why Cyprus?
Cyprus offers a unique combination of benefits:
- Favorable tax structure with one of the lowest corporate tax rates in Europe (12.5%).
- Access to the EU market and strong international banking system.
- English is widely spoken, especially in business and legal sectors.
- High quality of life, safe environment, and excellent healthcare and education systems.
- Growing communities of tech startups, fintech companies, and digital professionals.
Step-by-Step: Relocating Your Business
1. Choose the Right Business Structure
The most common type of company in Cyprus is a Limited Liability Company (LTD). This structure is ideal for most businesses and allows 100% foreign ownership.
You'll need:
- A unique company name (approved by the Cyprus Registrar of Companies)
- A local registered office address
- At least one director and one shareholder (can be the same person)
- A company secretary (local or foreign)
2. Register Your Company
Registration typically takes 5–10 working days. The process includes submitting company documents, ID/passport copies, and proof of address.
At The Property House, we work with trusted local partners who can assist you from A to Z, including legal setup, bank account opening, and tax advisory.
3. Apply for a Business Address and Relocation Support
Once your company is registered, you’ll need:
- A registered business address (we can help you find prime commercial space in Limassol, Nicosia, or Larnaca)
- Assistance with relocating key staff, finding long-term accommodation, and organizing schools or family support (our relocation team is here to help)
4. Take Advantage of Cyprus’ Incentives
Cyprus offers generous incentives for foreign companies and investors:
- Non-domicile tax residency benefits for foreign executives
- No tax on dividends for 17 years
- Attractive IP tax regime for tech companies
