The Cyprus Companies Law provides for at least one registered shareholder.
There are no restrictions on the nationality of the shareholder. Nominee Shareholders can also be appointed. In case of using Nominees, the Beneficial Shareholder would not appear in any of the company's documents. The Beneficial owner will be given a Trust declaration stating that the Nominee Shareholder holds the company shares upon trust for him, and at the same time he will be also given a Blank signed Share Transfer Form by the Nominee Shareholder, so he can transfer the shares on his name whenever he wishes.
For each beneficial shareholder we need the following:
- Full name
- Residential address
- Occupation
- Nationality
- Passport copies (data page)
- No. of shares to be issued to each beneficial shareholder
For non - Cypriots that will be shareholders in a Cyprus Company the following documents are also required:
- An utility bill that certifies address
- Bank reference
If the shareholders are an existing Company we need:
- Certified copy of the Certificate of Registration
- Copy of passport of Directors (data page)
- An utility bill that certifies address
- Bank reference
The minimum required share capital for a Cyprus Company is €2.000. The share capital can be denominated in other currencies than Euros. The authorised capital of the company is not required to be paid
