Those planning the move to Malta face specific questions: How do I handle pre-departure tax obligations? What substance requirements does the EU mandate? How do I establish a company under Maltese law? We’ve answered these questions since 2013 – and guide you through all four phases: from planning to ongoing operations, with a dedicated point of contact.
One-stop-shop
Four phases, one partner
From initial tax planning to ongoing accounting – we guide you through every step of your Malta project.
Formation & Tax Planning
The foundation: corporate structure, tax optimisation and - where relevant - reviewing your pre-departure tax position, including Temporary Non-Residence rules and Business Asset Disposal Relief.
Relocation & Infrastructure
Setting up on the ground: relocation, residence permits, business bank account and office space - everything you need to hit the ground running in Malta.
Accounting & Compliance
Day-to-day operations: ongoing bookkeeping, payroll and regulatory obligations - so you can focus on running your business.
Specialist Solutions
Beyond the basics: gaming licences, trademark protection, yacht registration or comprehensive wealth strategy for complex mandates.
We advise different client groups with tailored solutions.

What you should know before getting started
The most important questions about Malta companies, costs and the process – answered honestly.
Yes, absolutely. Malta is a full EU member state and subject to all European regulations. A properly structured Maltese company is 100% legal and tax-compliant. What matters is getting the implementation right with genuine substance on the ground - and that's exactly what we ensure with our CSP Class C licence.
Costs vary depending on the complexity of your situation. A typical initial project including company formation, tax structuring and initial setup starts from around EUR 18,000. In the free initial consultation you'll receive a transparent quote with no hidden fees.
With our experienced team and direct contacts at the authorities, we can typically get a fully operational Maltese company up and running within 6 to 8 weeks. More complex structures or additional licences may take a bit longer.
For a tax-effective structure, genuine substance is required. In most cases that means: yes, you or at least part of your business operations should actually relocate to Malta. We'll give you an honest assessment of whether Malta is the right jurisdiction for your situation.
CSP stands for Company Service Provider. The MFSA (Malta Financial Services Authority) issues CSP licences in three classes. Our Class C licence is the highest tier and authorises us to offer the full spectrum of corporate services. It's your quality mark for a serious, regulated provider.
Our team advises in English, German and Maltese. With deep expertise in European tax systems and cross-border structuring, we understand the complexities entrepreneurs face when relocating internationally - which gives us a real edge when advising clients from the UK and across Europe.
With a correctly structured Malta setup, you are well prepared for enquiries from your home country's tax authority. We document everything from the outset so that the structure withstands scrutiny. Pre-departure tax planning, including Temporary Non-Residence considerations and disposal timing, is handled properly in advance.
No. Our core focus is European and international entrepreneurs, but we also work with poker players, streamers and influencers who need a Maltese company for their income. We likewise support private individuals relocating to Malta and advise high-net-worth individuals on wealth and tax strategies. We have a dedicated information page for each client group.
Company formation is just the beginning. After that you'll need accounting, payroll, ongoing compliance and potentially further services. Most of our clients stay with us long-term because we provide all of this under one roof - with a dedicated point of contact who knows your setup.
Pre-departure tax planning is one of our core competencies. When you relocate as an entrepreneur, your home jurisdiction may tax unrealised gains or impose anti-avoidance rules such as the UK's Temporary Non-Residence provisions. We review your exposure, advise on the timing of disposals and relief eligibility, and coordinate with your local accountant to ensure no unwelcome surprises.
