Types of Partnerships in Malta
Malta provides three main forms of partnerships, each with its own benefits:
- General Partnership (Partnership en Nom Collectif) – Partners manage the business together and share full responsibility for its obligations. Best suited for trusted collaborators actively involved in day-to-day operations.
- Limited Partnership (Partnership en Commandite) – Combines active partners who manage the business with others who contribute capital but have limited liability. This structure offers a balance between investment and management.
- Civil Partnership – A flexible structure that allows two or more persons to collaborate under a common arrangement while retaining their individual independence. It is often chosen by those who wish to formalise cooperation without creating a company or registering with the Malta Business Registry.
Partnership Registration in Malta
To establish a partnership in Malta, partners normally enter into a formal agreement which, in the case of general partnerships and limited partnerships, is registered with the Malta Business Registry (MBR). Once registered, these partnerships become recognised legal entities.
In contrast, a civil partnership does not require registration with the MBR. Instead, it is formed through a written agreement between the partners and is commonly used by professionals who wish to collaborate under a structured arrangement while retaining their individual practice rights.
Once established, partnerships in Malta must comply with:
- Annual filing and reporting with the Malta Business Registry (where applicable).
- Proper record-keeping and accounting standards.
- Tax and regulatory requirements under Maltese law.
