Self-employed, or a company?

We register both at a fixed price. Sumly's accounting platform is built for limited companies, so it doesn't run self-employed books. Choose for your business, not the fee.

How it works.

No queues and no guessing which office handles what. That's the part the fee pays for.

  1. Day 1

    Tell us about your work

    A 30-minute call about what you'll do, where you'll work and when you start.

  2. Send your documents

    Your ID and a few details. We tell you exactly what to upload, and ask once if anything is missing.

  3. We do this

    We file both registrations

    Tax Department and Social Insurance, prepared and filed for you.

  4. Days to 2 weeks

    Start invoicing

    We tell you the moment both are approved, so you can send your first invoice.

Self-employed, answered.

Anything else? Ask us on WhatsApp, or schedule a meeting below.

You register with the Tax Department and with Social Insurance, so you can invoice legally and pay contributions. With us, it starts with a call about your activity. We collect your ID and details, file both registrations and confirm when they're done, for a fixed €200.

You need to be setting up your activity in Cyprus, but you don't need to be here on the day, and there are no office visits. If you're an EU citizen moving here, our Yellow Slip service registers your residence too.

Your ID and a few details about your work, like what you'll do, where and from when. We tell you exactly what to upload on the call and prepare the forms ourselves.

No. The accounting platform is built for Cyprus limited companies only. We can register you as self-employed, and if you later form a limited company, that's when Sumly takes over your books.

Self-employed is simpler and cheaper to run. A limited company separates your liability from the business, is what most business clients expect, and is the only structure Sumly keeps books for. We register both at a fixed price, so choose for your business, not the fee.

They're based on an income level the government sets for each occupation, called notional income, at rates it publishes each year. GeSY, the national health contribution, comes on top. The figures change, so ask us on the call and we'll go through the current numbers for your work.

Only once what you invoice over 12 months crosses the Cyprus VAT registration threshold, or if you register voluntarily, for example because your clients are VAT-registered businesses. It's a separate step, and we'll tell you where you stand on the call.

Usually a few days to two weeks once your documents are complete, depending on the authorities. We keep you posted and tell you the moment you can start invoicing.

Every registration comes with a 100% approval guarantee. If yours is refused, you get a full refund.

Yes. If you stop working or move into a limited company, the registration is closed with the same authorities. If you form a company with Sumly, its books open the day you order.

Talk it through first.

Tell us what you do. We'll say whether working for yourself or running a limited company suits it better, and what happens next.
