Malta directorship services that survive a bank review.

A nominee name on a form is not substance. Directorship in Malta is a reserved CSP activity: fit-and-proper checks, decision records and someone who will actually sit the board. We provide directors only where the structure needs them — under licence ARM04957.

Some Malta companies need a local director; some need the founder on the board with a licensed secretary and office. We decide that in the scoping memo, not on a price list. Where we accept a director mandate, minutes, conflicts and the statutory calendar are part of the engagement.

Substance is a person, not a clause. Treaty claims, banking and participation exemption all ask who decides, where, and whether that is evidenced. A paper director fails that test on the first call.

Licensed, or it is not a CSP service. Providing directors by way of business in Malta requires MFSA CSP authorisation. We do not rent names to structures we will not stand behind.

Tied to the rest of the file. The director mandate sits next to registered office, secretary and accounting — so the person signing is reading the same books the tax refund depends on.

FAQ

Do I need a Maltese director for a Malta company?

Not always. Private companies can have non-resident directors. A local director is a substance tool — useful for banking and treaty files, unnecessary (and expensive) when the founder already decides in Malta or the claim does not need it.

Are nominee directors legal in Malta?

Providing directors by way of business is a licensed CSP activity. Informal “nominees” with no records and no licence are how bank accounts get frozen. We only accept director mandates we will minute and stand behind.

What do Malta directorship services cost?

Quoted as a fixed annual fee after we know the activity, meeting cadence and risk. There is no web price list — the mandate is personal and licensed.

Can you provide a company secretary without a director?

Yes. Many files need a licensed secretary and registered office more than they need a local director. See our company secretarial page.
