In this blog we will explain you about  Types of companies which can be set up in Malta

There are a variety of structures that can be registered in Malta under the Company Law. The sole proprietorship is the simplest of these, requiring only one person to act as the business's sole owner, making it subject to the fewest requirements. Similar to sole proprietorships, partnerships are also straightforward business structures that, depending on the type of partnership formed, require at least two members—individuals or businesses—who can exercise full or limited control over the business. From this perspective, general partnerships and limited partnerships can be formed.
 
Private and public limited liability companies are the most complicated business structures, but they also offer significant advantages, including limited liability for the company's debts and obligations.
 
Compared to the other available structures, the requirements for starting a Maltese business as a private or public company are more stringent. A minimum share capital and a larger number of shareholders are implied by these requirements.
 
The minimum number of shareholders in a private company is two, and the share capital required to establish such a structure is close to 1,200 euros, of which 20% must be deposited upon company registration.
 
The same number of shareholders is required for a public company, but the minimum share capital is slightly more than 46,000 euros, and at least 25% must be deposited in the bank account upon incorporation.
 
Branch offices and subsidiaries of foreign companies are also permitted in Malta.

Before starting a business in Malta, choose a company or trade name. Choosing a company or trade name is the first thing you need to do. The reservation is made for free through the Companies Register.
 
If you want to start a business in Malta, you need to know that the trade name must be unique, so it's best to choose at least three names. The Trade Registrar will issue a certificate granting use of that name.
