What to get right if you are a startup founder in Cyprus

Get the cap table and IP assignment right before you raise.

The most expensive startup mistakes are a messy cap table and IP that sits with a founder rather than the company. A corporate lawyer should paper both at incorporation, not after a term sheet arrives.

Ask whether the accountant has actually filed an IP Box claim.

The IP Box is Cyprus’s headline startup incentive, but it requires substance and a proper nexus calculation. Hire an accountant or tax advisor who has run real claims, not just heard of the regime.

Compare year-two costs, not the incorporation fee.

A low headline formation price often hides the recurring registered office, secretary and compliance costs from year two. Ask every agent for the full year-one versus year-two breakdown.
