Cyprus Road Network
The Cyprus highway system connects all major cities. There are a total of three main highways in Cyprus, all of which merge together at various points.

Education
Legal System Transparency
Cyprus’ legal system, based on English Common Law principles, is widely recognized as a business-friendly and effective system that ensures transparency and reliability in business practices. Offering foreign businesses a familiar and reliable framework within which to operate, Cyprus’ legal system is also fully compliant with the EU, the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF), OECD, FATCA, the Financial Stability Forum laws and regulations and EU AML directives.
Human Talent
Human talent probably constitutes Cyprus’ most compelling advantage, complemented by a broad range of high quality professional services. As a dynamic business center, Cyprus offers an abundance of highly educated and skilled individuals, multilingual in their majority, ready to serve the needs of any business.
Indeed, Cyprus has all the right ingredients to maintain a strong and resilient economy, due to its small size, productive labor force, and business friendly and flexible government.
Safety
Cyprus offers an extremely safe living environment, with low stress levels and crime rates, ideal for a peaceful family life. Acknowledging the island’s safety and security standards, Value Penguin has ranked Cyprus 5th worldwide and 1st among smaller Countries in its Safest Countries in the World study for 2015.
Health
Cyprus, along with its clean environment and healthy cuisine, also has a robust health system, and was ranked the 11th healthiest country worldwide in 2015 as per Bloomberg. Hospitals and clinics are numerous and affordable, and Cyprus has become a premier retirement destination for UK and EU residents.
