Introduced services · via independent licensed providers

The specialists around the structure — chosen, briefed and coordinated.

A Cyprus structure never runs on administration alone. It needs a tax adviser willing to sign an opinion, an auditor who will meet the group deadline, a bank that will onboard the account, sometimes an advocate, sometimes a residency permit. Cyprus law reserves each of these to a specific licence — so we do not perform them. We introduce them, to providers we have vetted and worked with, and we stay accountable for the whole running smoothly.

How an introduction works

LEVION performs only the licensed activities of Article 4, L.196(I)/2012. Tax opinions, statutory audit, banking, legal advice, immigration and substance are performed by independent licensed specialists. We define the need and select the provider for the mandate, you engage the specialist directly so their professional duty runs to you, we brief them from the records we already keep, and we follow the work to completion and file the result in your corporate records.

We define the need and select the provider — for this mandate, not from habit.
You engage the specialist directly for the regulated work; their duty runs to you.
We brief them and hand over a complete file from the records we already keep.
We follow the work to completion and file the result in your corporate records.

Why this model, stated plainly: an administrator who also writes the tax opinion is grading their own homework. Independence is not a compliance cost here — it is what makes the opinion, the audit and the bank file worth relying on. Our incentive is alignment: we succeed when the structure works, not when a particular adviser gets the fee.

I·01

Bank & EMI account opening

Introductions to Cyprus and EU credit institutions and electronic money institutions matched to the entity’s actual profile — a holding company, a trading company and a fintech do not belong at the same institution. We know which desks are onboarding which risk profiles this quarter, because we submit files to them continually.

The provider: A licensed credit institution or EMI, which makes its own onboarding decision.
Our part: Institution selection, the application file, and administration of the account after opening — which is licensed ASP work.

I·02

Tax advisory & rulings

Structuring advice, tax opinions, advance rulings from the Cyprus Tax Department, transfer-pricing documentation and cross-border coordination — from independent Cyprus tax advisers. For groups, we coordinate the Cyprus adviser with the group’s existing tax function so positions taken here match positions taken at home.

The provider: An independent licensed tax adviser who signs the opinion and owns the position.
Our part: The brief, the corporate facts the opinion rests on, and implementing the adviser’s recommendations in the entity’s records.

I·03

Audit & accounting

Every Cyprus company must prepare audited financial statements. We introduce ICPAC-member audit firms sized to the engagement — a Big Four network where the group requires it, a strong local firm where it does not — and bookkeeping and accounting providers who keep records to audit-ready standard through the year, not just at year-end.

The provider: An ICPAC-member audit firm, independent by law.
Our part: Registers, minutes and statutory records delivered to the auditor complete and on time — the difference between a two-week audit and a two-month one.

I·04

Legal opinions & litigation

Legal opinions on capacity and enforceability, transaction documents, shareholder agreements, regulatory applications and — when it comes to it — litigation before the Cyprus courts, through practising advocates regulated by the Cyprus Bar Association. Operating under CBA supervision ourselves, we work alongside these firms daily and know which ones answer within the deal’s timetable.

The provider: A practising Cyprus advocate or law firm; privilege and duty run directly to you.
Our part: Instructing documents, corporate authorisations and the records that let counsel move immediately.

I·05

Immigration & residency permits

Work and residence permits for relocating executives and their families, Business Facilitation Unit registrations for eligible employers, permanent residency applications and non-dom coordination — handled by specialist immigration counsel. Where a structure depends on people being genuinely in Cyprus, the permits are not an afterthought; they are sequenced into the setup plan from the start.

The provider: Immigration counsel handling the applications.
Our part: The corporate side of every application — employer documents, board approvals, registered office attestations — produced from records we already hold.

I·06

Office & substance solutions

Dedicated offices, serviced space, payroll arrangements and local hiring support for entities that need demonstrable presence in Cyprus — because tax residency claimed on paper and contradicted by reality is worse than no claim at all. We help clients scale substance to what their structure genuinely requires: what the adviser’s opinion assumes, the premises and people should show.

The provider: Landlords, serviced-office operators, payroll and HR providers.
Our part: Matching the substance footprint to the structure’s requirements and documenting it in the corporate file.

I·07

Real estate

Commercial premises for operating entities and residential property for relocating principals, through licensed estate agents and property counsel. Where property is acquired inside a structure we administer, the acquisition is papered properly from the first day — board approvals, funding documentation, land registry filings — so the asset never becomes the weak point of the file.

The provider: Licensed estate agents and property lawyers conducting the transaction.
Our part: The corporate approvals, the funding trail and the post-completion record-keeping.

Common questions

About the introducer model.

What does "introduced" mean, exactly?

The work is performed by an independent third party holding the licence Cyprus law requires for it. We select the provider, make the introduction, brief them, hand over a complete file from the records we keep, and follow the work to completion. You contract with the specialist directly for the regulated element — their professional duty runs to you, not through us.

Why not do it all in-house?

Because the law reserves each of these services to a specific licence-holder, and our ASP licence does not cover them. A firm performing regulated work outside its perimeter exposes its clients, not just itself. The clean line is also what makes the output valuable: an independent opinion is worth relying on precisely because the person who signs it does not also run the structure.

Who pays whom?

The specialist invoices their own work under their own engagement letter. Our coordination is either inside the administration retainer or quoted separately in advance. Any arrangement around an introduction that could create a conflict of interest is disclosed before you sign anything.
