Why Greek-Americans Use Cyprus to Expand into Europe | Legal Business Strategy 2025

H1: Greek-Americans Are Using Cyprus as Their Business Gateway to Europe

In recent years, Cyprus has emerged as the preferred jurisdiction for Greek-Americans looking to expand their businesses into the European market. Its strategic location, low taxation, EU membership, and cultural familiarity make it uniquely appealing for those who want to operate across borders while keeping strong ties to their Greek heritage.

At E. CHATZIDIMITRIOU LLC, our Cyprus-based legal team provides U.S.-based Greek entrepreneurs with full legal support, helping them incorporate and run businesses in Cyprus remotely, securely, and in full compliance with both U.S. and EU regulations.


H2: Why Cyprus Is the Ideal Business Hub for Greek-Americans

Cyprus combines the benefits of a business-friendly legal system, European market access, and a tax-efficient corporate environment. Here’s why Greek-Americans are increasingly choosing Cyprus as their international base:

H3: 1. Full Access to the EU Market

Once you incorporate a company in Cyprus, you gain automatic access to the entire European Union (27 countries). This means:

  • You can trade services and goods without additional licenses

  • You can register for EU VAT

  • You can open bank accounts across Europe

  • You benefit from mutual recognition of regulations and contracts

H3: 2. Extremely Favorable Tax Environment

Cyprus offers one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the EU at 12.5%, with:

  • No withholding tax on dividends paid to non-residents (e.g., U.S.-based Greek-Americans)

  • Full access to over 65 Double Taxation Treaties, including with the United States

  • Special tax exemptions for holding companies, intellectual property, and investment structures

H3: 3. Remote Incorporation with No Travel

Cyprus allows the entire company registration process to be completed remotely through a Power of Attorney. This includes:

  • Company name approval

  • Articles of Association drafting

  • Tax and VAT registration

  • Shareholder and director declarations

  • Bank account guidance

You do not need to travel to Cyprus at any stage.

H3: 4. Greek Language & Legal Familiarity

Cyprus offers a unique advantage to Greek-Americans:

  • Legal documents can be issued in Greek or English
