Ranges are indicative market guidance for 2026 and vary with your structure, activity and provider. Nominee, apostille, VAT registration and substance services are quoted separately. Request a tailored quote for exact figures.
Two things move the number most: your structure and your compliance needs. A single-owner trading company is simpler and cheaper than a holding structure with nominees. Regulated or higher-risk activities need more due diligence, and audit fees rise with turnover and transaction volume.
The incorporation fee and government charges are one-off. The registered office, secretary and accounting or audit recur every year. When you compare providers, always compare the total first-year cost, not just the headline incorporation price, because the cheapest headline is often the one that unbundles the registered office and secretary.

The lowest total cost usually comes from a straightforward private limited company with a standard registered office and secretary, and no nominee or expedited services. Government and registrar fees are typically 150 to 400 euros, with a professional incorporation fee from around 500 euros. Be cautious of very low headline prices that exclude the registered office, secretary or first-year compliance.
Yes. Budget for the registered office, company secretary and accounting or audit each year, typically 1,000 to 2,500 euros in total depending on activity and turnover. A Cyprus company must file an annual return, audited financial statements and a tax return.
VAT registration is usually quoted separately because not every company needs it immediately. We include it in your tailored quote when your activity requires it.
