What you should know before getting started
The most important questions about Malta companies, costs and the process – answered honestly.
Is a Malta structure legal and EU-compliant?
Yes, absolutely. Malta is a full EU member state and subject to all European regulations. A properly structured Maltese company is 100% legal and tax-compliant. What matters is getting the implementation right with genuine substance on the ground - and that is exactly what we ensure with our CSP Class C licence.
What does it cost to set up a company in Malta?
Costs vary depending on the complexity of your situation. In the free initial consultation you will receive a transparent quote with no hidden fees.
How long does the process take?
With our experienced team and direct contacts at the authorities, we can typically get a fully operational Maltese company up and running within 6 to 8 weeks. More complex structures or additional licences may take a bit longer.
Do I need to move to Malta?
For a tax-effective structure, genuine substance is required. In most cases that means: yes, you or at least part of your business operations should actually relocate to Malta. We will give you an honest assessment of whether Malta is the right jurisdiction for your situation.
What is a CSP, and why does the licence matter?
CSP stands for Company Service Provider. The MFSA (Malta Financial Services Authority) issues CSP licences in three classes. Our Class C licence is the highest tier and authorises us to offer the full spectrum of corporate services. It is your quality mark for a serious, regulated provider.
What languages does your team speak?
Our team advises in English, German and Maltese. With deep expertise in European tax systems and cross-border structuring, we understand the complexities entrepreneurs face when relocating internationally - which gives us a real edge when advising clients from the UK and across Europe.
What happens during a tax authority enquiry?
With a correctly structured Malta setup, you are well prepared for enquiries from your home country's tax authority. We document everything from the outset so that the structure withstands scrutiny. Pre-departure tax planning, including Temporary Non-Residence considerations and disposal timing, is handled properly in advance.
Do you only work with business owners?
No. Our core focus is European and international entrepreneurs, but we also work with poker players, streamers and influencers who need a Maltese company for their income. We likewise support private individuals relocating to Malta and advise high-net-worth individuals on wealth and tax strategies. We have a dedicated information page for each client group.
What happens after the company is formed?
Company formation is just the beginning. After that you will need accounting, payroll, ongoing compliance and potentially further services. Most of our clients stay with us long-term because we provide all of this under one roof - with a dedicated point of contact who knows your setup.
Can you help with pre-departure tax planning?
Pre-departure tax planning is one of our core competencies. When you relocate as an entrepreneur, your home jurisdiction may tax unrealised gains or impose anti-avoidance rules such as the UK's Temporary Non-Residence provisions. We review your exposure, advise on the timing of disposals and relief eligibility, and coordinate with your local accountant to ensure no unwelcome surprises.
Let us talk about your plans.
In a free initial consultation we assess together whether Malta is the right move for your situation - honestly and without any sales pressure.
