The re-domiciliation of a company to Malta is regulated by The Continuation of Companies Regulation prescribed under the Companies Act, as well as the Cross-Border Conversions of Limited Liability Companies Regulations. If your company is registered in a foreign jurisdiction it may move seat and be constituted as a company registered in Malta, allowing for the smooth continuation of its existence, business and domicile to Malta, while ensuring the continued existence of the legal person.

We can offer you solutions and assistance should you seek to re-domicile your company to Malta, or alternatively re-domicile a Maltese company to a foreign jurisdiction.

In the current climate of increasing corporate governance, every Maltese company, large or small, must meet statutory compliance requirements. Maltese companies, excluding those registered under the Merchant Shipping Act, must appoint a company secretary, and by law, the directors must appoint a person who has knowledge of local company law. In Malta you may also appoint a legal person as company secretary, as long as that person is duly registered under the Company Service Providers Act.

At Fenlex, we provide both corporate and individuals as company secretary who are committed to providing you a professional service. Services include maintaining statutory registers and ensuring your company complies with its Memorandum and Articles of Association. Furthermore, the company secretary would be responsible for organising board meetings and annual general meetings, drafting resolutions, and formulating meeting agendas and preparing minutes. The company secretary would raise matters which warrant the attention of the Board, and effect changes in the Board of Directors and Shareholders. Part of the role would also include preparing and filling annual returns while ensuring that people entitled to do so can inspect company record; as well as administering the registered office.

Opting for our company secretary services ensures proper compliance and governance for your company.

Private companies in Malta must have a minimum of one director, of which the responsibilities include ensuring that Malta-based companies are in compliance with Maltese law and regulations, including but not limited to the Companies Act, the Income Tax Act and the Income Tax Management Act, and, where applicable, with the Remote Gaming Regulations, the Virtual Financial Assets Act and the Innovative Technology & Services Act and all subsidiary legislation. A director must also liaise with the local authorities, procure local secretarial, accounting, and legal services for the company as necessary, as well as ensure that the operations are conducted in the company’s and shareholders’ best interest.

At Fenlex, we offer you solutions should you wish to appoint individual or corporate directors to the Board of your Malta company. With decades of hands-on experience, our directors and senior staff members have a varied professional background and boardroom experience, both as executive and non-executive directors.

The provision of Directorship services is a regulated activity, wherein Fenlex is authorised by the Malta Financial Services Authority to provide these services.

A Maltese company must have its registered office situated in Malta, irrespective of where the company’s business is operating from. The office has to be an effective address for delivering documents to the company and its officers or shareholders, as well as an address where the incorporation documentation, registers and copies of annual accounts are held and available for public inspection.

We are licensed to offer a registered address facility, which is a simple way of establishing a legal presence in Malta, without having to go through any short- or long-term costly arrangements. In addition, when it comes to meetings, we provide boardroom facilities at our premises, ensuring that you can meet in a comfortable business environment with all meeting facilities on site.

If a more comprehensive service is required, we also provide Serviced Offices located in a prime location, which include facilities that meet all business requirements.
