Malta Company Registration Procedure
From long before Malta’s entry in the EU, the Islands have seen exponential growth in the number of companies registered in Malta. The growth has been in the main, driven by international clients. Maltese companies have access to efficient tax solutions that make Malta one of the most interesting Financial Services Centres within the European Union. Structures can be registered, amongst others, either as a Private Limited Liability Company or a Public Limited Liability Company. Companies are allowed to carry out any kind of activity, be it trading, holding or investments. The company can also mix the nature of its business and is not limited in any way.
