Regardless the accounting office you'll chose in most cases it's going to be a more expensive solution than BVI and so on, but has other benefits. 1) for an aff.program you are within EU visa region, 2) Cyprus companies are obligated to follow intl accounting standards and do annual reports. This means you can further utilize possibilities starting from a business loan in EU to even entering london stock exchange market 3) strong banking system
Good points SR

The one thing that put me off so far with Cyprus corps was the fact their were formal accounting requirements and taxation - even tho it is low. Forgetting taxation, the one thing above all else, was the pleasure of escaping having to fill in forms for tax and VAT. Suffered that tour of duty for decades and no wish to return to it

But sure - Cyprus is another option, depending on what plans their may be.
