Running a business in Cyprus can present several challenges for entrepreneurs. One of the main pains is the high level of administrative matters that needs to be considered and the speed of reaction to your querries, which can make it difficult to navigate the legal and regulatory requirements of starting and running a business. Another pain point due to relatively small labour market is the limited availability of skilled personnel, which can make it difficult for businesses to find and retain qualified employees.
One of the main issues is the complexity of the tax laws and regulations, which can make it difficult for businesses to understand and comply with their tax obligations. Additionally, the process of filing taxes and submitting financial statements can be time-consuming and burdensome for businesses, which can divert resources away from more important business activities. Another pain point is the relatively low value (in terms of speed, quality and comprehension of customer needs) for the money paid on accounting and tax services received, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises as the accounting and tax treatment of transactions could be tricky and quite interpretative depending on the desired goals.
Banks and financial institutions establish their own level of risk tolerance and create internal policies for accepting new clients and monitoring transactions, considering factors such as the client's country of incorporation, business activities, countries involved in transactions, the client's nationality, currencies used.
Therefore, opening a business bank account is a challenging process. The financial institution will have to use a risk-based approach to ensure that the client's risk profile is acceptable and that all necessary due diligence has been completed before the account can be opened and used for business transactions.
Without conducting appropriate market research, it can be difficult for a business to make informed decisions about product development, pricing strategies, marketing efforts, investment and exit strategies. Market researches provides valuable insights into market conditions and can help identify potential risks and opportunities. Without this knowledge, a business may make decisions based on assumptions rather than facts, which can lead to poor performance and ultimately failure.
