Redomiciliation vs new company incorporation
When considering a corporate relocation to Cyprus, you can either:
- Redomicile your company: Keep your existing legal entity, continue contracts and banking arrangements, and simply change its seat to Cyprus. This option is often faster and avoids starting from scratch.
- Incorporate a new entity: Suitable if you want a fresh start, restructure operations, or separate certain activities.
We guide you through both options, helping you choose the route that best matches your business objectives.
