  • Shareholders – own the company shares.
  • Secretary – maintains statutory records and compliance.
  • Registered office – a physical address in Cyprus is mandatory.

Since 2016, general trading companies in Cyprus no longer need to include specific objects in their Memorandum of Association. However, if your company needs to be licensed (e.g. legal firms), specific objects must still be included.
