The registry sets a short list of hard requirements for a Cyprus private company and publishes the officers' details. A provider sees all of it.
The registry's core requirements for a Cyprus private limited company.
The registry states that a private company must have at least one director (a public company at least two), directors must be 18 or older, and the company needs one secretary; only a private company with a single member and single director may have that director also act as secretary.
A company must keep a registered office in the Republic of Cyprus; the registry says it may not be a mailbox, and it is where official notices are sent and statutory registers are kept. A change of address is notified within 14 days.
Per the registry, a private limited-liability company needs at least one member (up to fifty); a public company needs at least seven members. A single-member private company is therefore permitted.
The registry states that private companies have no minimum share-capital requirement, whereas a public company offered for subscription has a statutory minimum.
The registry publishes the details of a company's directors and secretary, and the registered office address, in its electronic register.
Changes to a company's directors or secretary must be notified to the registry within 14 days; late notification allows the registrar to impose a capped late-filing charge.
For a private company, transfers of shares or changes to shareholder details are notified to the registry within 14 days, with a secretary's declaration that the change matches the company's register.

Tell us about your structure, activity and payment needs — the essentials, not a full application.
We assess the structure and requirements against what providers typically accept before recommending a direction.
We identify a suitable regulated provider and explain what is realistically available for your case.
You complete official KYC/KYB directly with the regulated financial provider — not with Latynex.
The provider makes the final decision and activates the account. We stay involved if anything needs coordinating.
Latynex is not a bank or electronic money institution. Financial accounts and payment services are provided by independent, regulated financial institutions. Final eligibility and approval are determined by the selected provider, following its own KYC/KYB review.

No. Latynex is not a bank, EMI or payment institution. We review your case and, where suitable, introduce it to an independent, regulated financial provider who handles the account itself.
No. No introducer can guarantee a banking or payment-account decision. The provider you are introduced to runs its own KYC/KYB review and makes the final call under its own policies.
Typically: certificate of incorporation, register of directors and shareholders, proof of UBO identity and address, a description of business activity, and evidence of source of funds. Exact requirements vary by provider.
Setup and ongoing fees vary with jurisdiction, ownership structure, business activity, expected turnover and compliance profile. The provider discloses its fees before you proceed, and any Latynex advisory fee is disclosed separately.
No obligation — we review your case and respond with a straight answer.
