Company Registration, Secretarial, Fiduciary & Bank Account Services
Company Formation & Corporate Services
Established in 1985 and regulated by ACCA and ICPAC, Iacovou & Co. forms and administers companies for clients across Cyprus and internationally, from company registration through to ongoing secretarial, fiduciary and bank account support.
Most of the enquiries we get are from directors who assumed formation is a same-day process. We register a Cyprus limited company within 5 working days once the due diligence documents, name approval and signed forms are in. Registration itself is the easy part. Company formation in Cyprus also means opening a bank account and getting tax registrations in place before a business can actually trade, and that stage depends on the bank’s own checks as much as on us.
We also handle the paperwork that gets overlooked once a company is formed: statutory registers, board resolutions, and the establishment and administration of Cyprus International Trusts for clients who need a structure alongside the company itself.
Company administration, fiduciary services and taxation in Cyprus tend to run together in practice, so our secretarial team works alongside our tax colleagues rather than as a separate department, whether the client needs a new international trust or simply a registered office.

Who We Work With
We work with first-time founders registering a Cyprus company for the first time, established local businesses restructuring an existing one through our corporate advisory team, and international clients setting up a Cyprus entity as part of a wider group. Once a company is formed, most clients move straight into bookkeeping and VAT registration, so the same team stays on for both.
