Aspen Trust Group

About Aspen Trust Group

Established in Nicosia in 1998, this corporate and financial services group presents itself as a team of cross-border structuring advisers. It works with multinational corporations, small and medium businesses, family offices and private entrepreneurs, and states that it has supported clients with operations across the EU, North America, Russia, the Middle East, Australia, Africa and Asia. The offer spans Cyprus company set-up, headquarters and substance offices, trust administration, and incorporation in many other jurisdictions through partners. Accounting, payroll, tax and VAT compliance sit alongside company secretarial work, banking introductions and immigration support for individuals relocating. Particular attention goes to shipping, film production incentives and the Cyprus intellectual property regime. Its chief executive, a chartered accountant, leads the practice, and the website states that tax avoidance is not the aim of its structuring work. No languages beyond English are listed on the site.
