About us

Independent Advice. Considered Judgement. Long-Term Relationships.


1. Our Purpose

CapitalSF Cyprus exists to help internationally mobile individuals, families and business owners make informed, well-structured decisions about establishing life, business and financial interests in Cyprus.

Relocating or developing interests in another country involves more than completing individual transactions. Residency, property, business, tax and wealth considerations are often closely connected. Decisions made in one area may have important consequences elsewhere.

We provide a single, trusted point of guidance throughout this process. By understanding your circumstances, clarifying your priorities and coordinating the appropriate independent professionals, we help you approach each decision in the correct sequence and with a clear view of the wider picture.


2. Our Philosophy

We believe that important international decisions should never be considered in isolation.

A residency pathway may influence a property decision. The establishment of a company may affect personal tax planning. A move to Cyprus may create wider questions involving investments, succession and family wealth.

Our approach begins with listening. We take the time to understand your personal circumstances, business interests, family priorities and long-term objectives before considering individual services or professional introductions.

CapitalSF Cyprus does not promote predetermined solutions. We provide independent strategic guidance, helping you understand the issues that should be considered and coordinating the specialist expertise required to make properly informed decisions.


3. Our Values

  • Discretion

We understand the importance of privacy when discussing personal, family, business and financial affairs. Every client relationship is approached with sensitivity, professionalism and appropriate confidentiality.

  • Independence

Our guidance is shaped by your circumstances and objectives. We are not tied to a single provider, developer or predetermined solution, allowing us to consider your wider interests.

  • Judgement

Experience provides more than knowledge—it provides perspective. We help identify the questions that matter, the issues requiring specialist advice and the appropriate sequence in which decisions should be made.

  • Long-Term Relationships

Our involvement does not need to end when a particular transaction or application is completed. We aim to remain a trusted point of guidance as your circumstances and interests develop.


4. Founder Profile

Sybrand Mostert CFP®

Founder and Private Client Adviser


Sybrand Mostert is the founder of CapitalSF Cyprus and an experienced international financial services professional whose career has included private client advice, offshore investment planning and cross-border financial matters.

During his career, Sybrand has worked with respected financial institutions including Standard Bank Offshore, Liberty Life and Holborn Assets. This experience has given him a strong understanding of the needs of individuals and families whose lives, assets and business interests extend across different jurisdictions.

Sybrand relocated from South Africa to Cyprus in January 2020, shortly before the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Having personally navigated the immigration, administrative and practical processes involved in establishing a new life in Cyprus, he understands the questions and uncertainties faced by clients considering a similar move.

His experience also extends across Cyprus, South Africa and the United Kingdom, providing a valuable international perspective when helping clients consider interconnected residency, property, business, tax and wealth matters.

Through CapitalSF Cyprus, Sybrand provides independent strategic guidance and coordinates relationships with trusted legal, tax, corporate, property and regulated financial professionals. His approach is personal and considered: understand the client first, identify the wider implications of each decision and ensure that the appropriate specialists are involved at the correct stage.

Sybrand holds the Certified Financial Planner® designation and is committed to building trusted, long-term relationships founded on discretion, independence and professional judgement.


5. International Perspective

International clients rarely make decisions within the boundaries of a single country.

CapitalSF Cyprus brings experience and understanding across Cyprus, South Africa and the United Kingdom—three jurisdictions that are particularly relevant to many of the individuals and families we assist.

This perspective helps us recognise the cross-border questions that may arise when a client relocates, acquires property, establishes a company or restructures personal and financial affairs. It also allows us to communicate effectively with advisers in different jurisdictions and help clients maintain a coordinated view of their wider circumstances.

Where advice is required outside Cyprus, we encourage clients to obtain appropriate guidance from qualified professionals in the relevant jurisdiction.


6. Professional Network

No single adviser should attempt to provide every form of specialist advice involved in an international move.

CapitalSF Cyprus works alongside a trusted network of independent legal professionals, tax advisers, corporate service providers, property developers and regulated financial advisers. Each professional remains responsible for the specialist advice and services provided within their area of qualification and regulation.

Our role is to help you identify when specialist advice is required, introduce the appropriate professionals and coordinate the different relationships around your wider objectives.

This collaborative approach provides continuity without compromising professional independence. It allows you to benefit from specialist expertise while retaining a trusted central relationship that understands the complete context of your plans
