Cyprus · Administrative Service Provider
For multinational groups, family offices and technology companies operating through Cyprus: company formation, directorships, trustee and fiduciary administration and corporate 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 — administrative services within the scope 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. Confidentiality and proper governance go together: beneficiary records, trustee minutes and distribution documentation are maintained so the structure holds if it is ever challenged.
Technology and fintech groups establishing Cyprus entities for EU operations, IP ownership, regional headquarters or group structuring. These clients move quickly and bank with institutions that ask hard questions; we provide the corporate administration and governance framework expected during onboarding and periodic reviews by banks and EMIs, and we introduce the tax specialists 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 a documented nominee arrangement, with the ultimate beneficial ownership fully identified, verified and recorded in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Assistance with bank account opening and ongoing account administration on clients’ instructions, preparing a complete onboarding file aligned with the institution’s due-diligence requirements.
Risk-based client due diligence, KYC and UBO verification and ongoing monitoring, carried out as part of our regulatory obligations under Cyprus AML/CFT legislation.
Where a matter needs specialist tax, audit, legal, immigration or regulated financial expertise beyond the scope of our ASP services, we introduce appropriately qualified independent professionals. Introduced services
The perimeter
Cyprus law defines what an administrative service provider may do. 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, corporate 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 coordination. We coordinate with the specialist, provide the relevant corporate records and track the engagement through completion, while the specialist remains independently responsible for their professional advice.
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.
Risk-based customer due diligence under L.188(I)/2007, including KYC, UBO verification and source-of-funds or source-of-wealth information where applicable. Thorough here means faster everywhere else: a well-maintained corporate and KYC record makes subsequent bank, audit and compliance reviews more efficient.
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.
Once our onboarding and due-diligence requirements are satisfied, incorporation typically completes within two to three weeks, depending on Registrar processing and the complexity of the structure. 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 administrative services defined by 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. Tax opinions, statutory audits, legal opinions and litigation are performed by appropriately qualified tax professionals, ICPAC-member audit firms and practising advocates, as applicable. 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: exercising independent judgment, participating meaningfully in board decisions and properly discharging the duties of office from Cyprus. Where tax-residence or substance considerations arise, these are addressed with the client’s independent tax advisers. A directorship taken any other way is not a service we offer.
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 once our due-diligence requirements are satisfied, depending on Registrar processing; banking introductions run in parallel.
Our partners
A Cyprus structure rarely stands alone. These are the organisations we work alongside most often when a client needs payments, banking technology, digital assets or investment management around the entities we administer.
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.
