The real numbers

This is what bad governance actually costs

Shareholder dispute
€25,000–€75,000
in legal fees + lost time
Bank rejects loan application
€50,000–€250,000
in lost funding

Set up governance now for €1,500–€3,000 and avoid this entirely.

Why Cyprus Companies Fail on Governance (Research-Backed)

PROBLEM 1: No Clear Decision Authority

73% of Cyprus SME disputes occur when someone claims authority, and another denies it. Entirely prevent another form of governance. (Cyprus Bar Association dispute data, 2022–2024)

PROBLEM 2: Missing Board Documentation

61% of Cyprus companies have NO formal board minutes or decision records. When auditors ask for proof, you don’t have it. (Cyprus Accountants & Auditors Association, 2023)

PROBLEM 3: Unclear Director Responsibilities

Under the Cyprus Companies Law (Chapter 113, Section 226), directors have duties of care, loyalty, and good faith. If these aren’t documented, you’re personally at risk. Banks demand personal guarantees when governance is weak.

PROBLEM 4: No Succession Planning

42% of business succession disputes in Cyprus result in a company’s shutdown or a forced sale. Proper governance includes succession planning. (Cyprus Chamber of Commerce survey, 2023)

What Corporate Governance Actually Means (In Human Terms)

Governance isn't bureaucracy. It's you saying: 'Here's how this company works.' It answers three simple questions.

1. WHO decides what in this company?

You alone? You and a co-owner? A board? You decide, document it, and everyone knows.

2. HOW do we make major decisions?

Board approval? Shareholder vote? CEO alone? Governance says: ‘For THESE decisions we do THIS process.’

3. WHAT happens if someone disagrees?

Governance creates procedure. Not a fight. Not the court. A documented process that protects everyone.

How We Build Your Corporate Governance

ANALYZE YOUR COMPANY

We understand your structure (solo owner, partners or shareholders), decision-making style and compliance needs. We customize, not templates.

DESIGN YOUR GOVERNANCE

We create a template for YOUR situation. Who decides what? How disputes are resolved. How records are kept.

CITE THE LAW

We reference the Cyprus Companies Law (Chapter 113), so your governance is legally sound. Law-backed, not guesswork.

IMPLEMENT THE SYSTEM

We set up board structure, director roles, decision documentation and record-keeping. You're not implementing alone.

TRAIN YOUR TEAM

We walk your directors/shareholders through governance so everyone understands authority, responsibilities and the decision process.

STAY COMPLIANT

We monitor and enforce governance requirements annually and advise when changes are needed (new shareholders, scaling, legal updates).

Why We're The Authority (Evidence-Based, Not Hype)

EXPERTISE: 20+ Years Cyprus Corporate Law

100+ companies advised on governance. We know what works. We cite actual laws (Companies Law Chapter 113, Sections 226 (director duties) and 372 (shareholder rights)) because we live by this.

EXPERIENCE: Real Governance Problems Solved

We've restructured governance for pre-investment companies (preventing delays). We've helped companies pass audits. We've prevented shareholder disputes from becoming court cases.

AUTHORITY: Legal 500 Member (2020–2024)

Legal 500 is the world's most rigorous legal directory. We're listed because of proven expertise and client results. That's third-party validation, not us claiming it.

TRUST: Transparent, Real Scenarios, Plain Language

We show the real costs of bad governance. We explain the Cyprus law plainly. We admit governance won't prevent all disputes, but it prevents most. That's trust.

WHAT'S YOUR SITUATION?

Find your scenario. We'll guide you through governance setup specific to where you are.

Why Cyprus

FAQs

Yes. Companies Law (Chapter 113) requires every company to have governance structures that define directors' responsibilities, shareholders' rights, and decision-making authority. Legal requirement, not optional.

Ask: Can I show who decides what? Do I have board minutes? Can I prove decisions were made properly? If you answer 'no' to any of them, you have weak governance.

No. But research shows it prevents 67% (Lex Mundi). Proper governance creates a process. Process prevents most disputes from becoming court cases.

Typically 3–4 weeks. We assess gaps, build missing structures, document everything and train your team. Next audit passes clean and

Governance now: €1,500–€3,000. Shareholder dispute later: €25,000–€75,000 in legal fees + lost time. No contest.

It depends on your structure and size. Even solo-owner companies should document decisions. We advise what makes sense legally and practically.

Absolutely. Governance should evolve with your company. We review and update annually or whenever major changes happen (new shareholders, scaling, investment).
