Why we need this information
Before we ask for ownership and financial details, here's a brief explanation of why this information is required.

Philippou Law Firm has legal obligations to identify ownership structures and potential money-laundering risks before providing services to any corporate client, a process known as "Know Your Client" (KYC). This includes identifying all Ultimate Beneficial Owners and understanding the company's financial background.

All information you provide is treated as highly confidential and used solely for compliance purposes and to provide the agreed services.

Your company's data may be shared, where necessary, with third parties including but not limited to the Land Registry, the Inland Revenue Department, the Registrar of Companies, the District Office, Ministries, Banks, and other professional advisors, solely for the purpose of providing the agreed services.

See the full GDPR consent on the sign screen.

Company structure
List the company's shareholders, Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs), directors and secretary. This is required by the Cyprus Bar Association for KYC/AML compliance.

List each shareholder. A shareholder may be an individual or another company. The ownership percentages must add up to exactly 100%.

A UBO is any natural person who ultimately owns or controls more than 25% of the company. After you submit this form, each UBO will receive their own link by email to provide their personal information directly.

List each director of the company. A director may be an individual or another company. Cyprus companies must have at least one director.
