GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANIES OF THE REPUBLIC OF CYPRUS:
In the Republic of Cyprus, an offshore regime for international companies was in force from 1977 to 2004.
After the Republic of Cyprus joined the EU (May 01, 2004), the territory is no longer an offshore zone, but is still a fairly reliable and attractive low-tax jurisdiction.
The peak in the number of newly registered companies in Cyprus was in 2007. There were 29,016 registered companies. But since 2008 the number of companies established in Cyprus has been gradually decreasing. Thus, in 2015, 11 270 companies were established in Cyprus.
Cypre, as a member of the EU, has no disadvantages inherent in classical offshore zones (BVI, Bahamas, etc.).

As a result of this search, the Registrar of Companies may reject a name for the purposes of protecting the reputation of an international organisation not registered in Cyprus (e.g. Coca Cola, McDonalds, etc).
At the same time, if the name contains restrictive words or expressions, the necessary consent of the competent governmental authority or other body should be obtained and submitted.
