The operation of the BSC was approved by the Council of Ministers on 12/03/2025 and comes to meet an essential need of the business community, enhancing the competitiveness and growth of the economy.
It is an evolution, with expanded responsibilities, of the Business Facilitation Unit whose operation had been approved by the Council of Ministers on 21/12/2021 and which came into force on 01/01/2022.
The BSC is a partnership of key services, aiming to provide a more direct, efficient, and coordinated service to Cypriot and foreign investors. The new Centre will operate as a common service provider and will consist of:
-
the Strategic Development Sector (SDS) of the Department of Town Planning and Housing (DTP&H);
-
the Business Facilitation Unit (BFU) of the Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry;
-
Invest Cyprus;
-
contact points with the departments involved in the licensing sector.
The BSC will be the first point of contact for investors, Cypriot and non-Cypriot, wishing to do business or expand their business activities in Cyprus.
