Malta Company Formation Process

The Malta Registry of Companies which forms part of the MFSA is responsible for registering companies and partnerships as per the Companies Act, 1995. Maltese company law provides for a very straightforward process to register a company. The formation process can be finalised within 24-48 hours from receipt of the documentation which satisfy the requirements established by Maltese law.

A company is set up through the drafting and registration of its Memorandum of Association. All shareholder/s must subscribe thereto and a certificate is issued in respect thereof. The Memorandum of Association should include the following details:

  • Company name
  • Address and official identification of the subscribers thereto
  • The nature of the company – whether it is a public (Plc) or private (Ltd) company
  • The registered office of the company in Malta
  • The object and purpose of the company to be incorporated
  • Details of the authorised issued and paid up share capital
  • Judicial and legal representation of the company
  • Details and number of directors and secretary
