Dear CYAUSE,

Thank you for your detailed offer.

We are interested in the 2025 shelf company.

Please let us know the full final amount payable for acquiring this company on a turnkey basis, with all required transfer actions completed, including tax registration, UBO declaration, CY Login profile, eFiling codes, nominee shareholder/director/secretary, registered office, audit, disbursements, administrative fees, VAT, and any other applicable costs.

After the transfer is completed, we plan to move the company to another corporate services provider for further administration.

Kind regards,

Dear Client,

Great to hear this! 

The final fee for the purchase and ownership transfer of [Company Name] is €3,800 + VAT.

This includes:

• Full set of company certificates
• Memorandum & Articles of Association
• Tax number
• CY Login profile
• eFiling codes
• UBO update at the UBO Registry

The fee for the administration transfer, including the change of shareholder, director, secretary, and registered office, is €700 + VAT, plus €240 disbursements (including the issuance of updated certificates).

Therefore, the total amount payable for the purchase and administration transfer is:

• €4,500 + VAT
• €240 disbursements

Total payable amount: €5,595 including VAT.

To proceed with the ownership transfer, we will require the UBO details.

For the administration changes, we will also require:

• the details of the new corporate service providers; and
• the new registered office address.

Once we receive your confirmation to proceed, we will issue the invoice and arrange the next steps accordingly.

Best regards,

Dear CYAUSE,

Thank you for your clarification.

Could you please confirm whether it would be possible to proceed only with the purchase and ownership transfer of [Company Name], while the administration changes are handled directly by our new local corporate services provider after completion?

In other words, our new secretary / local agent would arrange the change of director, secretary, registered office, shareholder and UBO update directly, without your assistance with the administration transfer.

Please confirm whether this option is acceptable and, if so, what the final amount payable to you would be for the purchase and ownership transfer only.

Dear Client,

Good day!

I confirm that the proposed arrangement is acceptable. The final amount for the purchase will be €3,800 plus VAT, totaling €4,522 including VAT.

Please note that the purchase price includes the UBO update, as this is part of the ownership transfer process.

For the administration transfer, including the change of director, secretary, and registered address, your service providers may contact us for the required documentation from our side.

Let me know if you would like to proceed and we will issue the invoice.

Best regards,

Dear CYAUSE,

Thank you for your clarification.

Before proceeding, could you please confirm what exactly you would require from the new owner and from our new local corporate services provider / secretary in order to complete the purchase and ownership transfer of [Company Name]?

As mentioned, after the ownership transfer, our new secretary / local agent will handle the change of director, secretary, registered office and other administration matters directly.

Also, we would like to ask whether you have any reserved company names available. The company itself is of interest to us, but we may consider changing its name after the transfer. Could you please let us know what name options may be available and what the cost of a name change would be?

Kind regards,

Dear CYAUSE,

Also please note that we are a UK company and, accordingly, VAT should not be payable by us.

Could you please confirm the final amount payable excluding VAT?

Dear Client,

Thank you for your clarifications.

Please note that the final amount payable is €3,800.

If you prefer your local service providers to undertake the UBO update as well, this is absolutely acceptable from our side. Should you wish for us to handle the update instead, we would require the new UBO’s passport copy and a recent utility bill.

With regard to the company names, no names are currently reserved. Nevertheless, we would be pleased to assist you with both the name application and the company name change process, if you wish. The fee for the name change procedure is €250 plus VAT.

Best regards,

Dear CYAUSE,

Thank you for your clarification.

The proposed terms are acceptable to us.

Please reserve [Company Name] for us and let us know the next steps required to proceed.

Kind regards,

Dear Client,

Wonderful news, thank you for your confirmation.

The next step will be for us to issue the relevant invoice. Once payment has been received, we will proceed with providing you with all related company documents and credentials.

Kindly send us the invoicing details to be used for the issuance of the invoice.

Best regards,
