    • Business & Taxation

      Cyprus offers one of the most attractive tax regimes in Europe. A member of the European Union since 2004, Cyprus’ regulatory regime is in full compliance with the requirements of the EU and OECD. Cyprus has one of the lowest EU corporate tax rates at 19%. The island’s advantageous tax rate coupled with an extensive list of double tax treaties places it high on the list of preferred jurisdictions for international tax planners.

       

    • Information & Communication Technologies

      Cyprus has managed to successfully exploit its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa – establishing it as a thriving international business centre with global connections. This success could not have been achieved without the support of an advanced communications infrastructure. Promoting the digital economy and developing secure electronic communications networks is high on the agenda in 2016, including creating more efficient e-solutions across all sectors. The government’s commitment to attracting foreign investment into Information and Communications Technology (ICT) projects and with start-ups springing up, Cyprus is being noticed internationally and was recently included in a list of eight emerging global technology hubs by Transfer Wire.

       

    • Shipping

      The Cypriot merchant fleet ranks among the 10 largest fleets in the world and ranks third in the European Union, with 12 per cent of the total fleet of the 27 Member States of the EU. Cyprus is also a major ship management centre with a total of around 60 ship management companies, some of which rank among the largest of their kind in the world, operating from within Cyprus. From those ship management companies, 87 per cent are controlled by Cypriot and EU interests and they employ almost 40,000 seafarers, out of whom 5,000 are EU nationals. The total fleet managed from Cyprus represents 20 per cent of the world third–party ship management market. Cyprus' ports are the commercial ports of Limassol and Larnaka. In 2018 there were 4,534 calls of ships in the Cyprus ports moving 270,364 passengers and 277,276 metric tons of cargo.

       

    • Professional Services & Regulatory Framework

      Cyprus’s legal system is based on U.K. Common Law principles. As a member of the European Union, Cyprus has introduced the body of laws and regulations of the E.U. There are over 2100 registered advocates and 160 limited liability law firms providing a wide range of legal services in Cyprus such as international law, corporate administration, and management services. Cyprus offers a wide range of professional accounting, auditing, management consultancy, taxation, financial advisory and other administrative service to both the private and public sectors. In 2009, there were approximately 120 limited accounting firms and 40 partnerships operating in Cyprus. Top international accounting firms are established in Cyprus providing services to international investors.

       

    • Infrastructure

      The local infrastructure is ideally suited for business people who need to get things done. Thanks to its modern road network, extensive port facilities and two new international airports, travel and transport in and beyond Cyprus is fast, efficient and economical. Considerable investment has been made into transforming the island into a major telecommunications hub in the region. By building upon its technologically advanced infrastructure, Cyprus has established an extensive telecommunications network, both in terms of cable and satellite, which ranks amongst the best in the world. The coastal resorts of Larnaca and Paphos each operate international airports serving flights to and from both Europe and the Middle East.

       

    • Energy

      Cyprus is committed to ensuring the security of its energy supply, protecting the environment, fostering healthy competition in the energy sector and encouraging the development of renewable energy technologies and production. Cyprus also aims to positively contribute to the European energy security of supply. Cyprus ranks first in the world in solar energy use for water heating in households, and has achieved significant progress in the production of energy from Renewable Energy Sources (RES). The most important projects relating to power generation from RES concern wind parks and photovoltaic parks. The existence of world-class deepwater natural gas reserves in Cyprus Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) has attracted a lot of attention from potential international investors, while bringing new and exciting opportunities to the energy sector itself. With the energy developments in neighbouring countries, the prospects may be there for Cyprus to become an energy hub in the Eastern Mediterranean.

       

    • Quality of Life

      Cyprus offers an enviable lifestyle in a clean and healthy environment with a high standard of living. Living and working in Cyprus are directly related to fabulous weather, beautiful nature, art and culture, safety, security, and above all, hospitable and warm people. It is the combination of all these factors that makes the experience of living on the island extremely desirable and attractive. The balance between work and family part of everyday life, is unique and truly difficult to match.

    Here at Giovani Homes we’re proud of our roots and continued commitment to delivering excellence to every client we work with. For more than three decades, we’ve been operating in the competitive property market across Cyprus, standing out among rivals thanks to our dedication to quality and a forward thinking approach that fosters innovation. Since 1986, we’ve been passionate about building and while the processes, technology, and projects have changed over that time, we’re just as committed to delivering a superior service as when we first started out.

     

    Building for success in property development

    The beginnings of Giovani Homes data back to 1986 when Christakis Giovanis founded the business. He embedded his two core philosophies throughout the firm, and they remain pillars of our operations today. The first was a strong focus on producing quality that competed with rivals based abroad, setting our completed projects far above those completed domestically. The second was to take a wider view of the industry to ensure the business remained at the forefront of the sector. It’s an approach that’s worked for us. Over three decades we’ve grown enormously. Christakis Giovanis successfully turned a construction company into the largest real estate development company in the southeast of Cyprus today, employing over 250 people. Our diverse portfolio has grown to include construction and refurbishment projects of luxury properties, where the highest level of care and standard of work is required. With a renewed focus on this rapidly growing area, we’ve completed hundreds of projects within the sector. In fact, research shows that we hold an impressive 14.4% market share, with our nearest competitors trailing significantly behind.

     

    Continued focus on quality

    Our dedication to quality has formed the bedrock of our success and it’s been a critical part of the business from the very beginning. With a vision to ensure that Giovani Homes was on par with similar companies abroad and offering higher standards than rivals in Cyprus, Christakis Giovanis set out to achieve accreditation.

    We set precedence in 1996 when we were recognised for high standards by securing prestigious ISO certificates. We then became the first company on the island to obtain certificates across the following three areas:

    • ISO 9001 – Quality
    • ISO 14001 – Environment
    • OHSAS 18001 – Health and Safety

    Our commitment to quality remains as we aim to become the biggest employer in the Famagusta District and continue securing innovation projects, from developing smart homes and constructing modern work environments to forging partnerships to expand our global reach.
