4 mistakes that slow engagements down
Booking before reading
Many founders book a call before reading the relevant service page. The 30 minutes goes faster if you've skimmed the structure we'd most likely recommend.
Skipping the engagement letter
Some clients ask us to start work before signing. We don't. The engagement letter protects both sides — scope, fees and deliverables agreed in writing first.
Underestimating KYC
Even a clean KYC pack takes 3–5 working days to assemble (apostille, translations, source-of-funds note). Plan for it; don't compress it.
No substance plan from day one
Cheap formation that ignores Cyprus management & control will fail bank KYC and tax-residency tests. Substance is part of the engagement, not a year-2 retrofit.
