About Alta Corporate Services

Based in Nicosia, this fiduciary firm presents itself as a one-stop partner for anyone setting up or relocating a business to Cyprus. Its website covers company incorporation, accounting, tax planning, permanent establishment and redomiciliation questions, substance, licensing and banking, plus relocation and residency routes for non-EU nationals, including residence through property investment. It states that it is licensed to provide fiduciary services and to act as trustee for Cyprus international trusts, which can be fixed or discretionary. For regulated activities it works alongside a partner firm that helps obtain licences for different kinds of legal entity. Banking support takes the form of introductions to a range of banks in Cyprus and other European and international centres. Accounting work includes preparing records and arranging an external audit firm. The pages are in English and do not list prices, team members, languages or founding date, so little is known about its size beyond the head office.
