Why Malta is the Ideal Location for Your Startup: Key Factors, Support Services, and Growth Opportunities
When considering a country to set up a new startup, it’s important to study many factors such as the economy of the country, the cost of living, availability of local talent, the IT infrastructure, availability of accommodation options, taxation, education, languages spoken, and health, amongst others.
Malta has all of this to offer, in addition to the most important factors for the startup being, company registration services and government support services specifically designed for startups.
Company Registration
Businesses in Malta can operate under various structures, with most entrepreneurs opting for a Limited Liability Company. Every company registered in Malta must have a registered office within the country and submit a valid Memorandum and Articles of Association. Companies and partnerships are registered with the Malta Business Registry (MBR).
Support Services
Malta Enterprise and Business First offer support to start-ups, helping startups navigate the legal and banking systems. They provide support services that guide start-ups through their inception, scaling, and further growth stages. Specifically at Malta Enterprise, each start-up is assigned a dedicated relationship manager who connects startups with various support schemes they can qualify for. Malta Enterprise also facilitates introductions to other government bodies and can help start-ups connect with the finance and education sectors, as well as with corporate service providers, office spaces, and industrial facilities.
Business Incubation Centre
To support the formation and growth of startups, Malta Enterprise manages two key Business Incubation Centre facilities: the Malta Life Sciences Park and the Kordin Business Incubation Centre (KBIC). The Malta Life Sciences Park includes two buildings the Malta Life Sciences Centre and the Malta Digital Hub and is supported by prominent local stakeholders, hosting tenants in the diverse life sciences sector. KBIC caters to tech companies and others needing industrial facilities, offering up to three years of access.
