Company Law
What is company law?
​
Company law (also known as corporate law) is the area of law that deals with the functioning and government of companies, organisations and corporate affairs of businesses. This area of law outlines the responsibilities of companies, directors, as well as shareholders and governs the sale and acquisition of companies.
​
Due to the simplicity and cost of incorporation, as well as the favourable corporate tax regime (12.5%) and European Union membership, Cyprus is one of the most attractive countries to set up a business in Europe. A Cyprus lawyer would be the first person to approach when setting up your plans.
