Corporate advisory


Corporate Advisory

Relocate Your Business to Cyprus.
End to End.


Most companies approaching Cyprus relocation speak to a local lawyer, open a bank account, and register an entity. Nobody coordinates the full picture.

Corporate relocation is not just a legal procedure. It is a sequencing problem — substance, management control, team residency, banking, tax positioning and real estate must be structured in the correct order, before the first decision is made. Not after.


The Problem

What most companies get wrong

  • Registering a Cyprus entity without demonstrable substance — challenged by home jurisdiction tax authorities
  • Relocating the director without addressing place of effective management
  • Opening banking before the corporate structure is properly documented
  • Moving employees without coordinating their personal tax residency
  • Triggering exit tax in the home jurisdiction through poorly timed restructuring
  • Assuming a holding company solves the tax question — without addressing operational reality

Who We Work With

The corporate relocation profile

UK Companies

Post-Non-Dom founders relocating operations. FCA-regulated entities establishing a Cyprus parallel structure. Management buyouts and pre-exit restructuring.

DACH Operators

German, Austrian and Swiss GmbH / AG owners establishing a Cyprus HoldCo ahead of a liquidity event or to optimise ongoing tax exposure across jurisdictions.

Tech & SaaS Founders

Internationally mobile founders relocating IP, management and operations to Cyprus with a team of 2–10 people. Substance by design, not by accident.

Trading & Fintech

Companies requiring EU jurisdiction, CySEC proximity, and real operational presence in Cyprus — with banking infrastructure aligned to the business model.

Family-Owned Groups

Multi-entity structures establishing a Cyprus holding layer for cross-border asset management, succession planning and capital consolidation.

Regulated Structures

Companies considering CySEC licensing, AIFM frameworks or regulated family office structures — requiring full coordination from day one.


How We Work

Full coordination — not partial advice

We are the senior coordination layer between your business and every licensed professional involved in the relocation. One point of contact. Full visibility. Correct sequence.

Phase 01

Corporate Assessment

Review of your current entity structure, income flows, management location, team profile and objectives. Written assessment with recommended Cyprus structure and sequencing plan.

Phase 02

Structure Design

Entity type, holding vs. operational structure, substance requirements, director appointment, tax positioning — designed before any filing begins. Coordinated with licensed legal partners.

Phase 03

Team Relocation

Personal tax residency and immigration coordination for founders and key employees. 60-day rule, PR pathways, family considerations — sequenced correctly alongside the corporate structure.

Phase 04

Banking & Real Estate

Corporate banking introduction with proper source-of-funds documentation. Office or residential real estate for the team — coordinated through licensed professionals. Under one advisory framework.


Engagement

Corporate Relocation — Full Coordination

Engagement Framework
Every corporate relocation engagement begins with a formal written assessment of your current structure, objectives and sequencing requirements.

The scope and fee are defined after — not before — we understand your situation. No two corporate relocations are identical. The assessment determines what is required, in what order, and at what cost.

Includes coordination of: corporate structure · entity formation · director appointment · substance framework · team residency · banking introduction · real estate coordination · licensed legal and tax partner network.

Partner fees (legal, accounting, registration) are agreed transparently in advance. No hidden costs.
  • One point of coordination across all licensed professionals
  • Written assessment before any commitment or filing
  • Full NDA from first engagement
  • Departure-side tax analysis coordinated with your home jurisdiction advisor
  • Timeline and sequencing plan delivered in writing
"The sequence matters more than the destination. A Cyprus entity without substance, management control or correct timing does not solve a tax problem — it creates a new one."
