Malta


The island republic of Malta is the smallest European Union member both in terms of area and population. The state’s territory consists of three islands: Malta, Gozo and Comino. Formerly a British colony, the country gained independence in 1964.

Location in the Mediterranean Sea, 80 kilometres south of Italy, make it an ideal holiday destination. However, Malta is also known in the film industry as an attractive location for international film productions. The importance of the financial services sector and the gaming industry is growing as well. The official currency in the islands is euro. The country has two official languages: English and Maltese.
Maltese company law is regulated by Companies Act. Business entities in the country are required to register with Malta Business Registry. To set up a firm, you need to draw up Memorandum and Articles of Association, reserve a name for your business (the reservation is valid for 90 days) and pay up the initial share capital. Trading companies need to apply for a licence to Trade Licences Unit. Registration fee applies. Its amount depends on the amount of the entity’s authorised share capital and form of registration (electronic or on paper).

A private limited liability company may have from one to fifty shareholders. The minimum share capital is 1,165 EUR of which at least 20% has to be paid up. The amount must be deposited in a bank account. There is no limitation with regard to the number of shareholders or directors. Every company is required to appoint a secretary (a natural person) and to prepare annual returns that must be filed to Maltese authorities.
Corporate income tax is 35%. However a company can apply for a refund of this tax up to 30%. This means effective rate is 5%. The levy is calculated based on the company’s worldwide income and capital gains. The standard rate of Value Added Tax is 18% but reduced 0%, 5% and 7% rates apply to certain categories of goods and services. In Malta there is no withholding tax on dividend or interest payments. Tax losses may be carried forward provided the company continues with the taxable activity.
Maltese economy is one of the fastest growing in the EU. It is driven by the service industry, with a significant role of the hospitality sector. Over 2 million tourists visit the islands annually. Malta is a high-income country with good potential for innovation. In terms of purchasing power, it ranks 15th in the European Union.
The country of Malta is a parliamentary republic. The government is led by the Prime Minister while the President acts as the head of the state. The country’s legislative body, known as the Parliament of Malta, consists of the House of Representatives and the President. The largest city, Valetta, is the smallest and at the same time the most southbound capital in the EU.
Malta has over 25 commercial banks. They are supervised by Malta Financial Services Authority that also grants financial services licences. The authority’s objective is to maintain stability of the financial sector and protect Maltese consumers. The country’s top banks include such institutions as Bank of Valetta, HSBC Bank Malta, BNF Bank, and APS Bank.

What is very unique in our style of operation is the fact that we have our ready made companies already registered in many various countries. All other providers have one address where they keep their shelf companies registered so that client wishing to buy more than one company with different address cannot be satisfied.

Many competitors may be offering lower prices however this always is at the expense of service and provided company quality. Our core activity is company formation and sale of ready made companies thus all members of our team have appropriate professional background. Our shelf companies are formed in accordance to all relevant laws and procedures by the team of qualified and experience professionals and lawyers. On the other hand the maintenance of our ready made companies is performed by licensed and proficient accountants and tax advisers. Therefore our clients can be sure that a shelf company they buy from us is clean, with no debts or tax issues, is formed professionally and its Articles of Association are of high quality.

Our main clients are private investors, traders, law, audit, accountancy and tax advisory firms as well as banks and investment funds. Throughout the years of activity Shelfcompanies24 has been enjoying the reputation of the fastest and most responsive shelf company provider.

Our services do not finish on the sale of shelf companies or company formation. We provide also many other related and necessary services so that we can be treated as a one stop shop in a business setup in many countries. We are also experts in tailor made company formation as well as compliance and registering various changes within the company like director appointments and dismissals, company name change, share capital increase or decrease, company address change and many other issues.

We also provide tax and legal advisory services that are inevitably required by the businesses. We cooperate with many reputable tax and legal advisory firms whose services we can also recommend when the nature of the problem requires certain field specialist engagement.

For those clients who have a need to present their companies documents in foreign countries we provide apostille and translation services. After company sale documents can simply stay with us for the purpose of their apostille or legalisation and sworn translation to any desired language. This service is mainly required when there is a need to open a foreign bank account for a shelf company.

Furthermore we have agreements with many different accounting offices so that we are able to offer a wide choice of the particular accountant that will be dealing with client’s company. Also in case two or more of our clients are trading partners we can ensure that their books will be handled by separate and independent accountants.

Ultimately we can also support with a procedure of liquidation/bankruptcy of a company if a client wishes to withdraw their business presence. In this case we can either manage the process of liquidation or bankruptcy on client’s behalf or simply just dispose the assets and takeover the company so that the clients can enjoy fast exit.

Testimonials  

  • The company delivered a ready-to-go business, with VAT and EU VAT registration. Paperwork and the whole re-registration process was handled efficiently. I recommend this to anyone looking for a no-hassle company acquisition.

    Lionel Ronald

  • Company name of your choice? Check. Accounting services? Check. Help with tax authorities? Check. Finding a translator? Check. What can I say, these people are great and can help you with just anything.

    Sarah Duke

  • We needed to start building our presence in Poland fast, and a ready-made company seemed like the best option. We got presented with several location choices, picked the company name, signed some paperwork and were good to go. We got a company that was VAT-registered, with multiple bank accounts, just as we wanted.

    Jon Kim

  • Thank you for all the help. Your after-sale support is what sets you apart from the competition. It was important for me to get comprehensive company services at one place, with accounting, banking, tax issues handled for me, etc. I got everything I needed.

    Garret Lopez

  • I really recommend this website if you are looking for a shelf company in Poland. The companies are already registered, with no history and all documentation in place. This is really a great solution if you want to start your business ASAP. And the range of available post-sale services is just amazing.

    Francis Klein
