Enalian Consulting: Strategic advisory for forward-thinking businesses & entrepreneurs

As Cyprus continues to position itself as a hub for international commerce and innovation, businesses operating on the island – and those entering the European market – require expert guidance to navigate regulatory, financial and strategic challenges. At the forefront of this advisory landscape is Enalian Consulting, a boutique firm specialising in delivering tailored, forward-looking solutions across multiple industries, with particular strength in fintech, technology, investment structures and gaming, among others.

At the helm of Enalian Consulting is its Founder and Managing Director, Michaella Pillakouri, with a background in international commerce, corporate law and iGaming. Michaella founded Enalian Consulting with a clear and ambitious vision: to create a boutique advisory firm capable of delivering deeply personalised, high-impact solutions in an increasingly complex global business environment. Recognising a gap in the market between large, often impersonal advisory firms and limited-scope service providers, she set out to build a firm that combines institutional expertise with boutique-level engagement and agility. From its inception, Enalian Consulting has been designed as a strategic partner to forward-thinking businesses – particularly those operating at the intersection of regulation and innovation.

The firm serves not just as a facilitator but as an architect in the corporate evolution of its clients, helping them navigate risk, unlock value, and position themselves for sustainable success. Enalian Consulting offers a full spectrum of services, including:

Corporate Structuring, Formation & Legal Advisory: Advising on the optimal corporate structures in Cyprus and internationally, including tax-efficient structures, regulatory compliance and cross-border planning to ensure resilience, scalability and legal safety. Ensuring that clients operate within a sound legal framework while pursuing strategic initiatives, helping them navigate complex legal landscapes with clarity and confidence.

Ongoing Corporate Administration & Governance: Through an integrated back-office model, Enalian Consulting delivers ongoing support in governance, directorship services, AML oversight and secretarial administration – ensuring that operations remain seamless, compliant and aligned with evolving legislative obligations.

Regulatory & Licensing Support: Providing end-to-end support for regulatory authorisations, guiding clients through the intricacies of licensing processes with CySEC, the Central Bank of Cyprus and gaming authorities across multiple jurisdictions. The firm’s regulatory insight is particularly valuable for entities operating in highly scrutinized sectors such as fintech, payments, and iGaming.

Tax & Financial Advisory: With deep expertise in international tax frameworks, Enalian Consulting offers strategic planning that leverages Cyprus’ preferential regimes – including the Intellectual Property (IP) Box and the Notional Interest Deduction – to optimise corporate tax positions while maintaining full compliance with OECD and EU standards.

Business Substance & Operational Setup: Recognising the growing emphasis on economic substance and real presence, Enalian Consulting ensures that clients maintain the requisite physical and operational footprint in Cyprus.
