About ZY IMMO Сapital
ZY IMMO Capital · Independent Advisory Platform · Cyprus
A small number of situations.
Handled completely, in the right order.
Founded by
Inna Katsy Ignatiou
Founder & Principal Advisor · MSc Real Estate, Neapolis University Pafos
Ten years working directly in the Cyprus market, across complex investment transactions, Cyprus tax residency and non-dom applications, and cross-border private client engagements, operating at the point where jurisdictional strategy, capital positioning and fiscal structure meet. ZY IMMO Capital's practice is strictly advisory: it doesn't distribute property, doesn't act as a licensed real estate agent, and isn't a tax or immigration practice. What it does is coordinate.
The core philosophy
"Sequence isn't a procedural detail. It's the single biggest thing that decides the outcome."
Structure first · Entry second
Why order changes the outcome
Most expensive mistakes aren't bad advice. They're good advice, applied out of order.
Uncoordinated approach
- Relocation triggers dual residency, both jurisdictions claim taxing rights
- Property bought in a personal name before any structure exists
- Bank approached with no KYC prep, delay runs 6 to 18 months
- Company set up without substance, BEPS exposure, income re-attributed
- Exit tax crystallises because departure timing doesn't match the corporate event
- Several advisers, each working alone, nobody coordinating the whole picture
Coordinated implementation
- Full exit analysis done before a departure date is even set
- Ownership structure defined before any property purchase starts
- KYC narrative and paperwork ready before the bank is approached
- Substance plan in place before the entity is used for income attribution
- Corporate event timed together with the residency transition
- One coordinating function across every jurisdiction, one shared timeline
Private client result
A founder from Germany. A term sheet already signed. A €1.1M exposure that didn't need to exist.
A German-based founder was selling his operating company for €4.2M. By the time he came to ZY IMMO Capital, the term sheet was already signed and the timeline was fixed. After a full structuring assessment, Cyprus residency was put in place before closing, coordinated across licensed legal and tax professionals in both countries. Ownership was restructured and Non-Dom status applied. Even compressed into that short a window, the sequencing that was still possible changed the outcome.
"We were already past the point where most advisers would have said there was nothing left to do. The structure wasn't perfect, but it was a lot better than what would have happened without it."
