Company Formation
Services in Malta
Building the right company structure from the outset. Company formation is not only about incorporation documents; it is about putting the business on a sound footing from day one. We manage the setup process directly, with structured onboarding, clear communication, and documented implementation from planning through to incorporation with confidence and proper coordination.
From Planning to Incorporation
We manage formation as a staged process with clear statutory milestones, practical coordination, and defined outputs for directors and shareholders. This helps ensure that the company is incorporated properly, the required documents are prepared in the right sequence, and the business begins with a more orderly governance and compliance foundation.
01
Initial Consultation and Planning
We review your intended structure, confirm requirements, and set a clear timeline for each stage of the formation.
02
Formation Filing and Registration
EGM Assurance manages the formation workflow, including statutory documentation, filings, and registry communication requirements.
03
Post-Registration Setup
We finalise incorporation filings and deliver post-registration records, including statutory documents needed for operational readiness.
Structured Setup with Clear Accountability
Company formation requires disciplined handling of structure, records, registrations, and statutory obligations from the outset. We manage this process through a clear framework that supports directors, clarifies responsibilities, and helps establish continuity from day one of the company’s existence.
Where legal steps, filings, or coordination with other advisers are required, we align documentation, timing, and process so the overall setup remains orderly and transparent. This helps ensure that the company is formed on a sound footing and that key requirements are addressed without unnecessary delays or uncertainty.

Company Formation FAQs
Which companies are eligible for the simplified liquidation procedure?
To qualify, a company must be registered for at least six months and must not have traded, changed its name, employed individuals, had outstanding filings or penalties, or have shares pledged during the preceding six months. Regulated entities and public companies are excluded.
What is tax clearance, and is it required in a Maltese liquidation?
Tax clearance is a confirmation from the Maltese tax authorities that all outstanding taxes and compliance obligations have been settled. Obtaining tax clearance is a key step in the liquidation process to ensure the company can be formally struck off the register without any pending liabilities.
What are the steps involved in a voluntary liquidation?
The process typically involves: appointing a liquidator, ceasing business operations, notifying creditors, realising assets, settling debts and obligations, preparing final accounts, and distributing any remaining funds to shareholders before the company is struck off.
Are KYC documents required for voluntary liquidation in Malta?
Yes. As part of regulatory and compliance requirements, relevant Know Your Customer (KYC) documents must be collected from directors, shareholders, and beneficial owners. These typically include identification documents, proof of address, and corporate ownership details, enabling us to comply with Maltese law.
Can the company continue business operations during voluntary liquidation?
Generally, the company ceases trading once voluntary liquidation begins. The liquidator manages any remaining obligations or contracts, ensuring all matters are resolved before the final closure.
Do you provide full support for voluntary liquidation in Malta?
Yes. We act as liquidators and provide end-to-end support, including liaising with the Malta Business Registry and tax authorities, managing creditor settlements, preparing final accounts, and guiding the company through to a full tax strike-off.
