Cyprus Investment Firms

The Investment Services and Activities and Regulated Markets Law of 2007 - Law no. 144(I)/2007, which implements the provisions of Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID), makes Cyprus one of the most ideal jurisdictions for permanent establishment of your investment firm, while offering a single passport to potential investors to provide investment services within the European Union.

Cyprus maintains one of the lowest corporate tax rates in Europe with a highly sophisticated and developed infrastructure to best serve the financial services industry needs.

We have compiled a technical report highlighting the main features of the Law and some requirements to set up a Cyprus Investment Firm.

HCS will provide you with advisory support towards authorisation and registration of the Cyprus Investment Firm and prepare the application in accordance with the current regulatory requirements. Moreover, we can locate qualified executive and non-executive directors and personnel and provide legal, accounting and auditing support for your investment firm.
