The geographical location of Cyprus together with other considerable advantages and well-developed business infrastructures make Cyprus an attractive location for international business activities. Cyprus is situated between Europe, Asia and Africa, and is a full-member of the European Union since 2004. As a result, much legislation and many procedures have been harmonised with the EU standards.
Cyprus has a developed legal system influenced by the British legal system. The Cyprus legislation is further endorsed with a modern banking and finance sector which may support the operations of multinational enterprises and offer a secure environment to businesses operating in the Republic of Cyprus. Moreover, the well-educated workforce is able to provide high-quality services that will fit the needs of business people.
