Corporate administration (company secretarial) keeps a Cyprus company in good standing with the Registrar of Companies. It covers maintaining the statutory registers, filing the annual return (HE32) with audited accounts, keeping the UBO (beneficial ownership) register current, and filing changes of directors, secretary, shareholders or registered office. Falling behind risks penalties and, ultimately, strike-off.

What corporate administration covers
Beyond tax and accounting, a Cyprus company carries continuing statutory duties under the Companies Law. Corporate administration — often called company secretarial work — is the function that keeps those duties met and the company's records accurate and up to date. Neglecting it is one of the most common ways an otherwise healthy company falls out of good standing.
- Maintaining the statutory registers (members, directors, secretaries, charges).
- Preparing minutes and resolutions for decisions of the board and shareholders.
- Filing the annual return and statutory changes with the Registrar.
- Keeping the beneficial ownership (UBO) register current.
The annual return (HE32)
Every Cyprus company must file an annual return (form HE32) with the Registrar of Companies, accompanied by its audited financial statements for the relevant year. The return confirms the company's officers, registered office and share structure. Late filing attracts penalties, so we track the due date and file on time, every year.
The UBO register
Cyprus maintains a central register of ultimate beneficial owners — the individuals who ultimately own or control a company. Companies must record their UBOs and keep the details current, filing updates when ownership or control changes. We handle the initial filing and any subsequent updates so the company remains compliant with anti-money-laundering rules.
An ultimate beneficial owner is a natural person who ultimately owns or controls a company — typically through holding more than 25% of the shares or voting rights, or through other means of control. Accurate UBO records are a legal requirement and are checked by banks during onboarding.
Statutory changes
Whenever directors, the secretary, shareholders or the registered office change, the change must be filed with the Registrar within the prescribed time. We prepare the resolutions and file the relevant forms so the public record always matches reality — which banks and counterparties rely on during due diligence.
Why good standing matters
A company that misses its filings can incur penalties and, in persistent cases, be struck off the register — with serious consequences for its assets and its directors. Good standing is also a practical necessity: banks, auditors, investors and acquirers all check the company's filing history. Keeping everything current keeps the company ready for banking, audit and transactions at any time.
| Obligation | Frequency | Consequence of default |
|---|---|---|
| Annual return (HE32) | Annual | Penalties; risk of strike-off |
| UBO update | On change | Penalties; AML non-compliance |
| Statutory changes | On change | Inaccurate public record; banking issues |
| Statutory registers | Continuous | Breach of Companies Law |
