How much privacy is possible with a Cyprus Ltd – and where are the legal limits? An honest look at nominee solutions and the UBO register.
Many prospects ask about an 'anonymous' company. Honesty matters here: full anonymity does not exist in the EU. The beneficial owners are recorded via the UBO register, and banks know their customers anyway (KYC).
What is possible is a degree of privacy towards the outside: via nominee structures (fiduciary director or shareholder services) you do not necessarily appear in every publicly visible document. Towards authorities, the register and the bank, however, the true beneficial owner always remains known.
Nominee services reduce the public visibility of your name.
