Home » Establishing a Branch
Setting up a branch in Malta provides overseas companies with various benefits, owing to attractive tax rates, strong infrastructure, ideal geographical location, and a well-trained English-speaking business industry. An added benefit is that foreign companies do not require physical presence in Malta for branch registration to be made. Instead, the appointment of a local representative is sufficient.
The overseas company must register the branch with the Malta Business Registry within one month of establishing the place of business.

E&S can assist clients with all documentation required to register a branch in Malta, including:
- Registered address in Malta;
- Determining the activities of the business to be conducted in Malta;
- Appointment of local representative;
- Determining the extent of the representative’s authority to act on behalf of the foreign company.
Registry fees depend on the nominal value of the foreign company’s authorized share capital.

"Applying for the MPRP is a complex project but with E&S team, the whole process didn’t seem to be as complex. The team first explained the process and then created a very detailed work activity tracker explaining each activity clearly. The team was very quick to respond to any clarifications and gave us confidence, helping in every step to make the process doable. One of the key areas for E&S’ success in guiding us was the painstaking detailed documentation and steps to be followed. Moreover, the process moved fast, and we got our approval the first time, in one shot. I would strongly recommend E&S for MPRP process as with them, you will get it done successfully and faster than others. For me, I see the full form of E&S as Efficiency and Success for its clients."
