Each status used in Cyprus, in English, with the standard status the Prometiam API returns and what it means for doing business with the company.
Every register words its company states differently. This guide lists the status values used in Cyprus, what each means in English, and the standard status the Prometiam API returns for it, so the same question (is this company still alive, in trouble or gone?) has the same answer across countries. The register’s own value stays available as local_status.
Coverage and limits for Cyprus: company records only (no officers, no registry-compliance signal, no activity code, no share capital, no VAT number, no insolvency notices); companies and overseas companies only, trade names and partnerships are never served. Contains data from the Department of the Registrar of Companies and Intellectual Property (DRCOR), Republic of Cyprus, via data.gov.cy, CC BY 4.0.

active): The register shows no dissolution, insolvency or removal. That is the normal state, but not a guarantee of solvency or good standing: check filings and payment behaviour as your policy requires.active_strike_off_pending): The register has started to remove the company, usually for unfiled accounts or returns. It can still trade and can often avoid removal by putting its filings right. Treat it as a compliance warning and ask the company to explain before you extend credit or onboard it.in_administration): An administrator, not the directors, runs the company. Deal with the administrator, who decides which contracts continue, and expect claims against the company to be frozen or handled inside the procedure.in_liquidation): The company is being wound up and no longer trades normally. Stop new credit, file any claim, and ask who the liquidator is.in_compulsory_liquidation): The company is wound up by order of a court or the register for non-compliance, not because of insolvency. Treat it as winding up: no new business, and file claims with the liquidator.deregistered): Removed from the register: the legal person no longer exists (in the US: dissolved, revoked, withdrawn or no longer listed in that state). It cannot sign, be sued or be paid, so invoice a successor or the former owners and check whether it merged. Some registers can restore or reinstate an entity, so check before you treat it as final.merged): Merged into another company, which takes over its rights and obligations. Find the successor and deal with it.Cyprus’s status comes from the Registrar of Companies: a company is registered (active) until the three-month strike-off notice is published (active_strike_off_pending), and liquidation is voluntary (in_liquidation) or by court order (in_compulsory_liquidation); there are no insolvency notices.

status is the same list in every country; local_status is the register’s own value. Use one or the other, not both. Outside Spain a status filter must be combined with a name or an identifier.
