Straight answers to what international founders and finance teams ask us most.
A Maltese private limited liability company is registered with the Malta Business Registry (MBR). You will need a memorandum and articles of association, details of shareholders, directors and the company secretary, a registered office address in Malta, and evidence that the share capital has been deposited. Visio prepares and files the documentation, liaises with the MBR on your behalf and handles the supporting tax, VAT and employer registrations.
Once complete due diligence documents and share capital confirmation are in hand, incorporation itself is usually quick. In practice the timeline is driven by how fast shareholder identification, source-of-wealth documentation and banking are completed. We give you a document checklist at the first call so nothing stalls the file.
A private limited liability company in Malta has a minimum authorised share capital of €1,165, of which at least 20% must be paid up on incorporation. Public companies are subject to a higher threshold. We will confirm the right structure and capital level for your circumstances before filing.
Yes. There is no requirement for shareholders to be Maltese or EU nationals, and foreign companies may also register a branch rather than a subsidiary. The right route depends on your tax position, liability appetite and how you intend to trade, which is one of the first things we work through with you.
Every Maltese company must have a registered office address in Malta and a company secretary. Whether local directors are advisable depends on your substance and tax residence objectives rather than a blanket rule. We advise on the governance structure that fits your plans.
Yes — that is the point of using one partner. The same team that incorporates the company registers you as an employer, prepares employment contracts and handbooks, runs monthly payroll and FSS filings, manages Single Permit and Key Employee Initiative applications for third-country nationals, and keeps your compliance calendar.
