Malta company incorporation with TKEG Expat — we register your Maltese Private Limited Liability Company (Ltd) under the Companies Act with the Malta Business Registry (MBR): name reservation, memorandum and articles of association, share capital, and filing. Maltese law requires a local registered address and a Malta-resident company secretary; if you have neither, our virtual address and nominee secretary cover the compliance requirements. Government registration fees (EUR 245 for share capital up to EUR 1,500; higher for larger capital) are not included, and TKEG Expat charges a 3% handling fee on government outlays. Malta's EU membership and refundable tax system make it a popular holding jurisdiction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the registered capital must be transferred from a bank account in the name of the shareholders in proportion to their shareholding to the company's provisional capitalization account.
The company's registered capital must be used for the company's day-to-day operating costs, such as paying for goodscosts, to pay accountants, to pay for the services of TKEG Expat.
Any individual holding more than 25% of the company must be declared as a beneficial owner (UBO). This is assessed by tracing the ownership chain through to the ultimate individual — including through a listed parent company. If a new financial report later shows that an individual crosses the 25% threshold, the UBO declaration must be corrected and supplementary supporting materials may be required.
A POA requirement is not tied to the applicant's nationality. Incorporation in Portugal, Spain, Poland, Malta and Cyprus may not require a POA, but this ultimately depends on the lawyer/supplier handling the specific case. Poland in particular may require the shareholder to attend a meeting.
