Searching the Business Register

The Registrar of Companies maintains a file for every business entity registered in the Republic of Cyprus where all the details that have been notified and filed with the Registrar of Companies are kept.

In 2015, and in the context of reforming the Department of Registrar of Companies, the physical files of all active at the time, organisations (i.e. ltd companies, business names, partnerships and overseas companies), registered with the Registrar of Companies were scanned. As a result, an updated electronic register has been created, directly accessible via electronic search.

Additionally, upon payment of a ten euro (€10) fee, you may conduct a detailed search in the electronic file of the business entity of your choice, wherein all historic data filed with the Registrar of Companies is kept, starting from the business entity's registration date and up until the search date.
