Procedure for the Formation of a Cyprus Company
1. Name of the company
The name of the company needs to be approved by our Registrar of Companies. Names that may appear
of a common nature such as ‘General Trading’ or ‘Financial Services’, or names that could be misleading
to the stature of the company in question or to its respective line of business, such as the words
‘International’ or ‘Global’, will probably not be accepted, and should be avoided.
It is for this purpose, that we would rather you list up to four alternatives of potential names, in the order of
your preference. It usually takes up to 15 working days for the Registrar to grant approval of these names
but this procedure can be expedited to 10 working days for a fee of €26.
2. Ready made Companies or approved names.
If for any reason you would like to acquire an already ready incorporated company or you may want to
choose from a list of approved names, please refer to Appendix A.
If you are acquiring an already incorporated company please complete Appendix B.
3. Incorporation of a Company
Upon approval of the name, it takes up to three weeks for the incorporation of a company upon payment
of a fee of €85 otherwise the process may take much longer.
Information of incorporation – please refer to Appendix B for the information required to incorporate a
company.
4. Required References
The required references are as follows:
- Bank reference letter
- Utility Bill
- Passport copies of the beneficial owners
- that should be notarized or certified by a professional organization
(Please refer to Appendix C for a sample bank reference).
5. Our services
Our attached brochure has a detailed description of Meritservus’ line of services for your reference.
6. Anonymity
If you would prefer that the names of shareholders do not appear in the Public Registry of Companies, then
you may use the services our Trustee Companies. The shares will be registered under the name(s) of one of
our Trustee Companies, but the ‘Trust Deed’ which will be signed will indicate the respective beneficial
owner (as per Appendix D). Please note that at any instance these shares may be transferred to the
beneficial owner by completing and signing the ‘Instrument of Transfer’ document (as per Appendix E).

4. Meritservus - 4 -
7. Opening of bank accounts
As soon as the company is registered, bank accounts may be opened with a Cyprus Bank or any other
banking institution of your choice abroad. Our company representatives will act as signatories of the bank
accounts upon receipt of written instructions from the client. In the instance where there are non residents
signatories, the relevant bank forms will be forwarded to them for signature. Signatures of non resident
individuals require certification by a Notary Public or by an internationally or regionally acclaimed bank and
should be accompanied by a bank reference letter as well as copies of the signatories’ passports.
8. Share Capital
There is no minimum share capital requirement for the registration of a Cypriot company. However all our
Companies have an authorized capital of €15.000 with subscribers shares of 2000 of €1 each (not paid).
If you are incorporating a new Company you may request to increase the authorized capital of the
Company. The duty payable is 0.6% on such increased amount.
