International founders
Pre-incorporation, structuring, banking and compliance for founders relocating to or running through Cyprus.
Who we are
A boutique Cyprus advisory built for international founders
Nexora Cyprus is a specialist firm handling the full life-cycle of a Cyprus entity — incorporation, tax structuring, ongoing compliance, and the immigration and residency work that goes alongside. Each engagement should identify its scope, fee basis, contact and responsible providers before chargeable work starts.
The services are designed for international use cases, including UK founders, European entrepreneurs, investors considering a European holding base, and SaaS / crypto / fintech operators who need a regulator-friendly, EU-passportable Cyprus entity.

Full profile How we work
Eight pillars that hold every engagement together
The operating principles behind every filing, opinion and board pack we deliver.
Defined responsibility
The engagement letter identifies the scope and the responsible providers for legal, tax, immigration or filing work.
Tax intelligence
We model the full effective rate before recommending a structure — IP Box, holding, Non-Dom, Pillar Two, transfer pricing.
Ongoing scope
Formation, advisory and recurring compliance are scoped separately so responsibilities remain clear as a structure evolves.
Compliance-first
Substance, audit-ready files, AML done correctly. We don't sell structures we wouldn't defend in front of the Tax Department.
Documentation
Engagement letters, opinion letters, board packs — every position written down so it survives staff changes and tax audits.
Cross-border context
International structures require coordinated advice in every country that can tax or regulate the arrangement.
Coordinated services
The engagement letter states which corporate, tax, immigration, accounting or audit services are included and who provides them.
Transparent
Scope, fee basis, responsibilities and contact details are set out before chargeable work begins.
