Malta Company Types & Structures 🇲🇹

Malta's most popular business structure offering flexibility, limited liability, and EU advantages for international businesses.

A Malta Private Limited Company (Ltd) is a favoured business structure in Malta, offering limited liability to its shareholders, which protects their personal assets from company debts.

Key aspects include:

  • Minimum Share Capital: €1,165, with 20% required at incorporation.
  • Shareholders: Can have 1 to 50 shareholders.
  • Directors: At least one director, who may be a resident or non-resident.
  • Tax Benefits: A corporate tax rate of 35%, with potential reductions via shareholder refunds.
  • Regulatory Framework: Governed by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA).
  • Privacy: Some ownership details are private.

Malta Ltd is a perfect choice for businesses aiming to enter the European market, leveraging Malta's strategic advantages and favorable tax conditions.

You A Malta Public Limited Company (PLC) is a type of corporate entity that is publicly traded on the Malta Stock Exchange. It is characterized by its ability to raise capital by issuing shares to the public, which can be bought and sold by investors. A PLC in Malta must adhere to specific regulatory requirements set by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), including maintaining a minimum share capital and complying with corporate governance standards. This structure is often chosen by businesses seeking to expand their capital base and enhance their visibility in the market, while also providing shareholders with limited liability protection. Malta's favorable regulatory environment and strategic location in the Mediterranean make it an attractive jurisdiction for establishing a public limited company.

The Malta Partnership is a collaborative initiative aimed at fostering economic growth and development in Malta through strategic partnerships between the public and private sectors. This partnership focuses on enhancing innovation, improving infrastructure, and promoting sustainable practices across various industries. By leveraging resources, expertise, and networks, the Malta Partnership seeks to create a more competitive and resilient economy, while also addressing social and environmental challenges. Through joint efforts, stakeholders aim to drive progress and ensure a prosperous future for Malta and its citizens.

Setting up a branch in Malta involves registering with the Malta Business Registry and providing documentation from the parent company. A local representative must be appointed, and a registered office established. Compliance with local tax obligations, including VAT registration, is necessary. Malta offers a favourable business environment, making it an attractive option for companies looking to expand in Europe.

A Malta trust is a legal arrangement established under Maltese law, allowing individuals to manage and protect their assets. It is commonly used for estate planning, asset protection, and wealth management. The trust is created by a settlor who transfers assets to a trustee, who then manages those assets for the benefit of designated beneficiaries. Malta's trust framework is governed by the Trusts and Trustees Act, which provides flexibility and confidentiality, making it an attractive option for both local and international clients. Additionally, Malta's favorable tax regime and strong regulatory environment enhance its appeal as a jurisdiction for establishing trusts.
