Registered office and company secretary.

Every Cyprus company needs a registered office in Cyprus and a company secretary. This page is for the companies that lack one or the other.

• A company with no office of its own in Cyprus. The registered office must be a real address here, not a mailbox and not an address abroad; one is available through our licensed audit partner.
• A company with no one in Cyprus to act as secretary. The role, which keeps the statutory registers and files changes with the Registrar, is available through the same partner.
• A company with its own Limassol office. Your address is the registered office, and you still need a company secretary if no one in the company holds the role.
• A company changing its officers or address. The change documents are prepared and filed by our partner advocate; we manage the process and keep the Registrar's records matching.
• A founder deciding on directors. You choose them; we do not supply directors or shareholders. We set out what your company's banking and tax residence need before you decide.

Our partner is an audit firm licensed by ICPAC, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Cyprus. It provides the registered office and company secretary services under its own licence and carries out its own identity checks. You deal with us: we set it up, keep it in your calendar and answer your questions.

The partner's name is given in your written proposal. We describe it by category on this site because its services are its own.

We coordinate the appointments, make sure the Registrar's records match what was agreed, keep the office and secretary services in the same calendar as the filings, and remain your single point of contact for all of it. Where a change is needed, such as a new director, a transfer of shares or a change of address, the change documents are prepared and filed by our partner advocate; we manage the process.

The exact list depends on your case and is sent to you at step 2, "We ask you what we need". For the registered office and the company secretary, these are usually needed.

• Identity documents for the directors and beneficial owners: passport copies and proof of address. Our licensed audit partner carries out its own identity checks first.
• A short description of the business and its funding, for the same checks.
• The company's certificates and Memorandum and Articles, so that the statutory registers kept at the registered office are complete.
• For your own office as the registered office: its address, which must not be a mailbox. It is notified to the Registrar on form HE2 at incorporation and within 14 days of any change.
• For a change of director or secretary: the new officer's details and the date of the change, notified on form HE4 within 14 days, with the secretary's declaration that the company's own register has been updated.

• An address abroad, or a mailbox. The registered office must be in Cyprus and must not be a mailbox: it is where official notices are served and where the statutory registers are kept.
• Moving office and forgetting the Registrar. A change of registered office is notified within 14 days on form HE2; a change of director or secretary within 14 days on form HE4. Late notice carries a late-filing fee.
• A director abroad, a company meant to be Cyprus tax resident. From 2026 a company is tax resident where it is managed and controlled. Where the board sits and decides is the first thing to plan.
• Expecting a firm to supply the director or the shareholder. We do not, and no one holds shares or sits on a board on your behalf through us. You choose your directors and you hold your own shares.
• Leaving the registers to no one. The secretary keeps the statutory registers, prepares the minutes and the Annual Return and files changes. If the secretary leaves, the replacement is notified within 14 days.
