Shareholders

If the shareholder is a company, then the company must also give its details (company name, registered office, share capital, company register number). There must be documented proof that the representative is acting on behalf of the company and has legal authority to do so.

Capital Contributions in Malta

A capital contribution is a contribution of funds or assets to a company by the company's shareholders. The contribution increases the shareholders' stake in the company's capital.  Although additional capital is introduced into the company, the shareholders do not receive shares in return and are not creating debt.

Company Secretary

The company must appoint a secretary who may be a natural person of any nationality or a company. The law does not require the Secretary to be a Maltese resident, but it is advisable, given their duties and responsibilities.

General meetings of companies in Malta

The shareholders are members of the general meeting. They will decide on all matters for which they are legally competent or as set out in the company’s Articles of Association. They can also make management decisions, if deemed necessary.
