Making and reporting the changes in a company in Cyprus
The first step in making the changes in a Cypriot company is to amend the business’ Articles of Association when changing the shareholders, the directors and/or the company secretary. In the case of company directors, a resolution must also be passed by the shareholders. Once these changes have been made, they must be reported to the Companies Register in Cyprus.
When it comes to the change in the company’s trade name and bank account details, specific application forms must be filed with the Trade Register.
In the case of changes brought to the share capital of the company, a special resolution must be passed by the shareholders.
