Company Registration in Malta
WH Management is specialised in setting up and managing all types of entities. We will find the right solution that addresses your needs. The decision as to which is the appropriate structure will depend on numerous factors that we study closely with prospective clients, ensuring that we provide optimal solutions. As an initial step, we meet with prospective clients to gain a thorough understanding of the proposed structure and its activities. Leveraging the expertise of our lawyers at WH Partners, we offer tailored legal and tax advice to help establish the most appropriate framework. Once both the client and our professionals have a clear understanding of the optimal structure, our specialised corporate services team collaborates with the client to efficiently complete all necessary documentation for registration.
Registered Office
As required by law, a Maltese company must have its registered office situated in Malta. The registered office address should be an effective address for the distribution of documents to the company and its officers. All the company statutory documentation is to be kept at the company’s registered office.
We recognise that securing a fixed address for a newly registered business can be challenging, particularly for those starting on a smaller scale. To simplify this process, we offer a registered address service—an efficient and cost-effective way to establish a legal presence in Malta without the need for expensive short- or long-term commitments.
Our clients can utilise our premises as their official registered office. For meetings and negotiations, we provide access to boardroom facilities, ensuring a professional and collaborative business environment conducive to successful discussions.
Company Secretary
A Maltese company must appoint a Company Secretary and such person should have knowledge of local company law. If you do not wish to be burdened with administrative responsibilities, you can appoint a third party as a company secretary. We offer a dedicated team to assist you and are committed to providing a professional service to make sure all the statutory compliance requirements are met in a timely manner. We make sure the company keeps all mandatory records and files all mandatory forms when they fall due. We go the extra mile of truly understanding the company’s business and its transactions to be able to provide the necessary guidance on a wider spectrum apart from just filing of statutory forms and the keeping of minutes.
Accounting & Tax Compliance
Malta-registered companies are required to keep proper accounting records and have their financial statements audited at the end of each financial year in accordance with the Malta Companies Act, 1995 and International Accounting Standards. Fully-fledged accounting services, tax compliance services and payroll services are offered by WH Management. We also assist clients with the coordination of the auditing of financial statements by third party auditors.
Malta Branch Establishment
While a Maltese branch is not considered a separate legal entity, it is still required to register with the Malta Business Registry within one month of commencing operations in Malta. Setting up a branch does not require a minimum share capital, and it is governed by laws and regulations similar to those of a registered Maltese company. Branches may also be eligible to apply for tax refunds on any Maltese tax liabilities.
Cross-Border Conversion
A company seeking to transfer its operations to Malta does not need to liquidate its existing operations and start anew. Through a cross-border conversion, the company can shift its domicile to Malta while retaining its original legal entity established in a foreign jurisdiction. To facilitate this process, a foreign company must submit a request for continuation to the Registrar of Companies, in the manner and form prescribed.
By moving its domicile to Malta, the company will comply with Maltese laws and regulations without the need to establish a new legal entity.
