While the policy of the authorities has been to promote all business sectors in Cyprus, this has not had any adverse effect on their respectability or good standing in the eyes of the international business community. The framework of control placed on most business activities serves to boost the reputation of all Cyprus-based entities, also allowing them to operate in an environment which is as free from burdensome bureaucratic restrictions as possible.

Most international business entities are subject to the same laws and regulations as those pertaining to their local counterparts: there can be no suggestion that they operate in accordance with inferior standards or in an unprofessional manner.
