Cyprus · Administrative Service Provider
For multinational groups, family offices and technology companies operating through Cyprus: company formation, directorships, trustee and fiduciary administration and statutory compliance — performed under Cyprus Bar Association supervision, documented to the standard your bank, auditor and counterparties will test it against.
In one paragraph
LEVION CORPORATE SERVICES LTD is a Cyprus administrative service provider authorised and regulated by the Cyprus Bar Association (Licence No. 2197). We form and administer Cyprus companies, act as director, secretary and trustee, provide registered office and nominee services, and administer bank accounts on clients’ instructions — the licensed activities of Article 4, L.196(I)/2012. Tax, audit, banking and legal work is introduced to independent licensed specialists.
Who we act for
A Cyprus entity inside a serious group is examined constantly — by the bank at onboarding and every review after it, by the group auditor, by tax authorities applying substance and management-and-control tests, by a buyer’s counsel in diligence. Our work is to make sure that whenever the file is opened, it is complete, current and consistent.
Holding, financing and IP-owning entities that must satisfy group audit, transfer-pricing documentation and the management-and-control standard. We keep board process, registers and filings at the cadence a parent company’s reporting calendar demands — and we are used to answering the group auditor directly.
Investment holding structures and Cyprus International Trusts under the International Trusts Law, L.69(I)/1992 as amended. Discretion matters here, but discretion is not informality: beneficiary records, trustee minutes and distribution documentation are maintained so the structure holds if it is ever challenged.
Companies using Cyprus for EU market access, IP ownership or headquartering. These clients move quickly and bank with institutions that ask hard questions; we provide the corporate substance and documentation trail that lets an EMI or bank say yes, and we introduce the tax advisers who put the numbers on paper.
Licensed services
Incorporation under the Companies Law, Cap. 113, registered office in Limassol, and handling of statutory correspondence from day one.
Statutory registers, board and shareholder resolutions, annual returns, UBO register filings and deadline monitoring across the entity’s life.
Professional directors and secretaries who attend, read and sign with knowledge — keeping management and control where it needs to be.
Corporate trustee and fiduciary administration for Cyprus International Trusts and fiduciary arrangements, run to institutional standards.
Shares held under declaration of trust, with beneficial ownership fully documented and disclosed where the law requires it.
Opening and administering accounts on the client’s instructions, preparing the file the institution’s compliance team will actually accept.
Onboarding due diligence, risk assessment and ongoing monitoring under L.188(I)/2007 — kept current, not filed and forgotten.
Tax opinions, audit, banking relationships, immigration and legal work sit outside an ASP licence — so we introduce them to specialists who hold the right one. Introduced services
The perimeter
Cyprus law draws a clear line around what an administrative service provider may do. Firms that blur that line create risk for their clients. We keep to our side of it: administration, fiduciary duty and governance are ours; regulated advice belongs to the independent specialists we introduce and coordinate.
Formation, registered office, directors, secretary, trustee, nominee holdings, bank account administration, statutory compliance.
Tax advisory and rulings · statutory audit and accounting · bank and EMI relationships · legal opinions and litigation · immigration and residency · office and substance · real estate.
One point of accountability. We brief the specialist, assemble the documents, follow the work to completion and file the result where it belongs — in your corporate records.
Engagement
With a senior person, not a form. We establish what the structure is for, who is behind it and what it must withstand. If we are not the right firm, we say so on this call.
KYC and source-of-wealth verification under L.188(I)/2007. Thorough here means faster everywhere else: the same file supports the bank, the auditor and every later review.
Fixed scope, named responsibilities, agreed fees. Where specialists are involved — tax, audit, legal — their role and their independence are set out in writing before work starts.
Incorporation typically within two to three weeks of completed due diligence, then a standing rhythm: registers, minutes, filings and reviews on a published annual calendar.
Questions we are asked
If your question is not here, it belongs on a call — arrange one. We would rather answer precisely than answer fast.
LEVION CORPORATE SERVICES LTD is a Cyprus administrative service provider based in Limassol, authorised and regulated by the Cyprus Bar Association under Licence No. 2197. We operate within the Law Regulating Companies Providing Administrative Services and Related Matters, L.196(I)/2012, and the Cyprus AML law, L.188(I)/2007.
The licensed activities of Article 4, L.196(I)/2012: company formation and registered office, management and administration of companies, acting as director or company secretary, trustee and fiduciary services, holding shares as nominee, opening and administering bank accounts on clients’ instructions, and the compliance work that supports all of the above.
No — and you should be wary of any administrator who says yes. Tax opinions, statutory audits, legal opinions and litigation are performed by independent licensed specialists: Cyprus tax advisers, ICPAC-member audit firms and practising advocates. We introduce the client, coordinate the work and keep the records the specialists rely on.
Yes — it is core licensed activity under Article 4. But we accept appointments only where the officer can discharge the role in substance: attending board meetings, reading before signing, and keeping the company’s mind and management genuinely in Cyprus. A directorship taken any other way is a liability to the client, not a service.
A scoping call, then KYC and due diligence under L.188(I)/2007, then an engagement letter with fixed scope and fees. For a straightforward structure, incorporation and registered office are typically in place within two to three weeks of completed due diligence; banking introductions run in parallel.
The first conversation is with a senior member of the firm. Bring the structure as it is — or as you would like it to be — and we will tell you plainly what we can do, what we would introduce, and what it costs.
