Choose a Company Name
The first thing you need to do is choose a name for your company. We usually advice clients to submit three alternative names for approval by the Registrar of Companies. Choosing the right company name depends on a host of considerations – some as obvious as the kind of business you do, others as unique as your own tastes and style. There are, however, a few guidelines that will steer you in the right direction.
If you are wondering whether the name you have in mind is available or would be registrable, email me here.

Decide the Purpose/Objects of the Company
A company is formed for a specific object or objects.
In 2016 the Cyprus Companies Law has been amended to allow for the creation of general trading companies without the need to include specific reference in their Memorandum of Association.The above does not apply where the newly formed company is obligated by law to have specific reference about an object in its Memorandum of Association. For example a legal company that will apply to be licensed by the Cyprus Bar Association must have in its Memorandum of Association a specific object clause stating that it is a legal company.

Before forming your company you should have a good understanding of the costs involved. There are two types of costs and fees to be worried about.
