Types of Companies You Can Register in Malta
In addition to a business-friendly environment, Malta offers a flexible legal framework that allows entrepreneurs and businesses to choose from a range of company structures.
One of the most commonly chosen structures is Private Limited Company which is the preferred option for startups, SMEs, and international businesses. It requires a minimum of one shareholder and one director, offers limited liability protection to shareholders, and is well suited for trading, service-based, and holding activities.
For larger enterprises or businesses planning to raise capital publicly, a Public Limited Company (PLC) is an option. This type of business structure requires a higher minimum share capital and is commonly used by companies intending to list on a stock exchange. PLCs are ideal for more complex business operations.
A Holding Company is another popular choice in Malta, particularly for asset protection, investment holding, and group structures. They can benefit from Malta’s participation exemption and tax refund mechanisms, making it an attractive option for businesses that hold shares in subsidiaries or manage intellectual property.
In addition to this, businesses engaged in international trading or asset holding can opt for an offshore company. These typically operate outside Malta while benefiting from the country’s corporate framework and are often used for tax planning, global operations, and cross-border activities, while requiring to maintenance of compliance with Maltese regulations.
Foreign companies looking to establish a presence in Malta can also opt to set up a branch or subsidiary. A branch functions as an extension of the parent company, whereas a subsidiary is a separate legal entity registered in Malta.
