What we are looking for
We are a (small) website design company located in Europe with a clientele primarily located in the United States. We are looking to incorporate in Cyprus and open a corresponding corporate bank account in Cyprus. In addition we are also looking for an E-commerce solution to process payments. Our average sales are 12K a month. We expect to grow to 100K a month in the next 2 years.
Our clientele and sales volume
Our typical client purchases our services on a monthly basis. Some clients pay over $2000 a month. We send clients a bill through email with an average ticket size of $400.
Taxes
We are looking to optimize our tax strategy. Questions that we have:
• How can we optimize our tax system?
• Do we have to pay taxes in the United States? (our clientele is from the US)
• What kind of taxes do we have to pay?
E-commerce solution
We are still looking for the best way to get paid by our clients. Our typical client is located in the United States and generally pays us on a weekly basis with different ticket sizes.
Questions that we have:
• What is the best way for us to receive and withdraw funds?
• What payment processor works well with a Cyprus bank account?
Possible Paypal solution
From our understanding we think Paypal might be a good solution for our needs.
Questions that we have:
• Does PayPal work with a Cyprus bank account?
• Does Paypal report sales to the IRS?
• What are the maximum amount of transactions we can process with Paypal?
• What is the maximum dollar amount we can process with Paypal?
• Will Paypal easily freeze our account since we are located in Europe, have a Cyprus bank account, do net sell tangible goods and our clientele is in the United States?
Cyprus Bank account + incorporation
Part of our strategy is to incorporate and open a Cyprus corporate bank account.
Questions that we have:
• What law firm / online service should we use to incorporate + open a bank account?
• How difficult is it to open a Cyprus bank account? What are the steps?
• What’s the level of privacy with a Cyprus corporation / bank account?
Conclusion
Problem 1: We are looking for a solution to incorporate and open a corporate bank account in Cyprus.
Problem 2: We are looking for what we are looking for a E-commerce solution (example: CCBill, PayPal, Liberty Reserve, MoneyBookers, Alertpay etc etc )
