Signing of documents with 3rd parties. They send an sms with a code for verification. I get the code and input that into their system so they know it really is me who "signs". I could have used any number for the sms but for pure business reasons I wanted to keep it close to Cyprus. :)

I really needed to get going so I went for www.sonetel.com to get a virtual number in Cyprus (call forwarding and answering machine). For pure sms I found www.proovl.com and settled for a number in another European country (no Cyprus). So I now have two numbers, one in Cyprus (no sms) and one...

Thanks but this service does not seem to provide any mobile numbers. I need to be able to receive sms. Call forwarding is not what I'm after, I need an sms service.

Anyone knows a provider where I can sign up for a virtual Cypriotic number where I can receive smses (to be sent via email to me)? I looked at Sonetel but they don't have mobile numbers for Cyprus and so can't receive any sms. :(

Wow, super thank you. Everything is clear now. This is the way to go. I can see how much easier this is than the idea I had for the original setup. When you say that, do you actually mean that I can have this setup through you or your guys since "we can control the CPA"? Or did you just mean...

I think I understand. This way the Seychelles company uses the "anonymous account" while the Cyprus company uses a real bank account to receive money from the EU customer. But it will be an independent Seychelles company?, not a holding company holding the shares of the Cyprus company? a) EU...

I think I need some more explanation. :( You say incoporate and then "open the bank account" (I assume in a normal bank). So you mean that I open the bank account with the correct documents showing me as the beneficial owner? But then it would defeat the purpose since I will show up as...

Forgive a silly question, but you mean using second citizenship when creating companies and open bank accounts? So they won't report back to your home country ?

This sounds great but I need this to be set up as a business account (not private) for the Cyprus company. Can I really setup an anonymous business account with Worldcore even though my company itself is not anonymous? Doesn't Worldcore require to see company incorporation documents showing who...

Signed up for mentor group and moving my questions to this part instead of the public forum. I read and read and still feel confused. Starting this thread to add clearance to a foggy situation. Hopefully it could help out others as well. Context: 1. I do consultancy work for a EU customer on...

The problem is I don't know whether the broker will accept it yet. :/ But why wouldn't they? What is the difference for them? I mean, it will not cost them anything extra just because Cyprus company is not VAT registered. Or it just makes all the alarms ring loud at their finance department when...

I wasn't even aware of this. But what about anonymity? Can you appoint nominees for both director and shareholder? Could you move funds from a Scotland company to its holding company at 0% tax? Similar to moving from Cyprus to Seychelles? Who can help incorporate and at what price?

Thanks. It seems people are happy with them and they are the preferred agent on this forum.

None of my customers are online businesses. They are ordinary companies in need of someone developing their IT systems. We're talking about companies like Siemens, Vodafone, European banks etc. I have a middle man (broker) in between myself and the end customer so I will be invoicing the broker...

Does anyone know if I can use a Cyprus non-resident company to invoice my EU customers? I mean, I know it can be done but am I losing out on something compared to having a resident Cyprus company? I know that resident company can utilize double tax agreements with other countries (e.g...

Yes I have realized that nominee director + shareholder would do the trick. I just wasn't sure that would be enough when I started the thread.

Which agent did you use? Care to share?

Thanks orangeye. My business partners would know my name - I'm the person doing the actual work in tandem with the customer so it is hard to stay anonymous when sitting in the customer's premises. :) But I don't want them to know that the (Cypriotic) company doing the actual invoicing is...

Thanks for chiming in Admin. Honestly I thought that this way (first Cyprus, then Seychelles) would make it harder and more cumbersome. I'm thinking about the process (=cost money, takes time) of changing nominees in the Cyprus company. The nominees would be changed to be the Seychelles company...

Thanks auric. Yes this forum is a wealth of information and I'm trying to catch up. I saw OffShoreCorpgroup was mentioned on more places in this forum. I just wanted to have a better clue of what I need before contacting them. In a setup like I described (Secyhelles holding + Cyprus service...
