Legal Advisory for Malta Start-Ups

According the governmental agency, MaltaEnterprise, businesses in the setting up stage and companies just starting their activities can be referred to as start-ups. This type of Maltese companies have gained a lot of popularity during the last few years as they can benefit from several types of support from the Government, but also from the private sector. The number of foreign investors opening companies in Malta has also increased lately which is why legal advice is most of the times necessary in order to run a successful business. Our Maltese lawyers provide legal advisory for foreign entrepreneurs setting up companies in the country.
