How to set up a company in Malta: An overview by GCS Malta

Malta, strategically located in the EU, has emerged as an increasingly attractive destination for business. Its favourable tax system and strong regulatory framework further enhance its appeal.

Whether an entrepreneur, investor, or international company looking to expand, forming a company in Malta offers a range of benefits – but it also requires compliance with specific legal and procedural steps.

GCS Accounting Malta Limited (“GCS Malta”) is an expert in guiding clients through every stage of company formation in Malta. Their specialised knowledge ensures a seamless and compliant process from start to finish, giving clients the confidence to establish their business in Malta.

Company formation in Malta begins with the drafting of the Memorandum and Articles of Association (M&A). The M&A is prepared and submitted to the Malta Business Registry (MBR), along with other required incorporation forms. These documents must be appropriately completed and signed by all shareholders, who must also fully subscribe to the company’s share capital.

Upon approval of the submitted documents and verification that all regulatory requirements are met, the Malta Business Registry issues a Certificate of Registration. This certificate serves as the official confirmation of the company’s legal existence under Maltese law.

GCS Malta provides comprehensive company formation services tailored to its clients’ business needs. Its support covers every critical step in the incorporation process:

• Preparation and submission of incorporation documents
• Provision of a registered office address and optional virtual office services
• Assistance with opening corporate bank accounts in Malta or abroad
• Ongoing compliance, accounting, audit, and tax advisory services

GCS Malta is committed to ensuring the efficient handling of procedures and full compliance with Maltese regulations. This commitment allows clients to focus on growing their business, knowing that the legal and administrative aspects are in safe hands.

Going through the legal and administrative steps of company formation in Malta can be quite complex, especially for foreign investors.
