The number of New Companies Registered in Malta continues to grow

The number New Companies Registered in Malta continues to grow for a fourth year running.

The average number for new companies registered every day in Malta exceeds 25.

According to the latest data published by the Malta Business Registry (‘MBR’), the average number of new companies registered in Malta has exceeded 25 per day. This number includes both local and foreign-owned companies and continues to grow for a fourth year running.

The growing popularity of Malta as a good place for establishing new business has lead to a situation in which the number of foreign-owned companies virtually equals the number of companies that are controlled and owned by Maltese shareholders. The steady increase in new company formations is further strengthened by a noted decrease in company liquidations.

The main reasons pushing this positive trend can be found in the local legislative framework that ensures a safe and competitive corporate climate. The Maltese business legislation and regulatory environment is among the most proactive and business-friendly in Europe. The current landscape means that the opening procedure for a Malta limited liability company, which is the most popular form of running a business, can be completed within two or three working days, provided that all the requirements established by the Malta’s Company Act, have been fulfilled. The process is also inexpensive. The minimum share capital for private limited liability companies is €1,165, of which only 20 per cent needs to be paid up front. The share capital can be denominated in any currency. Notably, there are no exchange control restrictions, thus encouraging the use of Maltese corporate vehicles for businesses trading internationally.

Investors coming from the European mainland certainly find a familiar system and, a legal framework they are able to operate in. The recent forecasts published by the European Commission and credit agencies demonstrate that the optimistic and healthy momentum will be retained. The Maltese government is consistent in its business-friendly approach and its mission to propose improvements to legislation, ensuring that growth is not only sustained but also strengthened.
