Commercial Morality:

Unable to comment
Given that the present is an International Business Company - IBC (Offshore Company) and most of its activities are carried out outside Cyprus, coupled with the fact that no further detailed financial information is available, we feel unable to express a safe and reliable opinion on their creditability and commercial morality of the subject.

 

Financial Strength:

Unable to comment
Please note that despite the fact that the subject is registered on 15.03.2008, according to Mr Efthimiou it recently started activities; therefore we consider it as a new established company. For this reason we feel unable to comment on the financial strength.

 

 

 

Legal Status

 

Legal Form:

An IBC may be operated from abroad or may have a fully-fledged office in Cyprus.

The present is an International Business Company - IBC (ex - Offshore Company) registered in Cyprus on 15.03.2008. The subject deals with general trade internationally.

IBC companies, being covered by the law of confidentiality, may use nominee shareholders that hold the shares in trust for beneficial owners. Until recently beneficial owners were made known only to the Central Bank of the Republic of Cyprus that used to grant the permission for the company’s registration in Cyprus. After Cyprus accession in the EU this practice changed. Beneficial owners of an IBC are now known to the Lawyers and / or Auditors that undertake the registration of such companies in Cyprus.

In the past IBC’s (ex offshore companies & offshore branches) used to be benefited from a corporation tax rate on their profits of 4.25%. However, according to new tax legislation which has been in effect as of 1st January 2003, there is no longer a distinction between local companies and International Business Companies (IBC’s) and thus, the net profits of all companies registered in Cyprus are taxed at the rate of 10%.

Further more, in the past the law required the IBC’s (ex offshore companies & offshore branches), beneficial owners to be non-Cypriot residents and the business activities to be carried out, outside Cyprus only. Currently, this law has changed. IBC entities may have activities worldwide, including Cyprus. However, in order for an IBC entity to have activities locally, their Memorandum and Articles of Association should provide for that. Most of the IBC entities that were registered before the change of the law have already proceeded with the amendments in their Memorandum and Articles of Association.

We contacted the subject's auditors, Dinos Antoniou & Co Ltd, where we talked with Mr Marios Efthimiou, company auditor, who provided us with the above information regarding the subject.

A check against our records revealed that no negative payment incidents against Subject Company, such as unpaid invoices, dishonored cheques and utility bills, bankruptcies exist etc.
