I run a small company in Malta and I’m relocating my office from Gzira to a new address in Msida. I know I need to update this somewhere official but I’m not sure exactly what the process is or whether there’s a deadline.

Changing a company's registered office address in Malta is a relatively straightforward administrative filing under the Companies Act, Chapter 386 of the Laws of Malta, but it does need to be formally notified to the Malta Business Registry (MBR) rather than simply updated informally on your own records or website. You will need to submit the appropriate change of registered office form through the MBR, and this should be done promptly once the change takes effect, since an out-of-date registered address can cause you to miss important official correspondence, including statutory notices. Depending on your articles of association, this change may simply be a directors' decision, or in some cases may require shareholder input if the articles specify otherwise, so it is worth checking your own governing documents. Once filed and processed, the new address will appear on the public register, and you should also remember to update your address separately with the Malta Tax and Customs Administration and any relevant licensing authorities, since these are not automatically updated through the MBR filing alone.

I want to start a small business in Malta helping foreign entrepreneurs set up local companies, essentially preparing documents and liaising with the registry on their behalf. Someone mentioned I might need a licence for this. Is that actually the case, or is this just general business consultancy?

A company I used to direct in Malta was struck off the register a few years ago after we stopped trading and simply let the annual returns lapse. I recently realised there was still a small balance left in the company bank account that nobody ever dealt with. Can I still access that money now?

My business partner and I set up a company together in Malta where I hold 70 percent of the shares and he holds 30 percent, but under the articles of association certain decisions need unanimous shareholder approval. He is now refusing to approve anything, including basic operational matters, seemingly out of spite after a personal disagreement. Can I do anything about this?

My Maltese company entered into a supply contract with a business based in another EU country, and the contract itself is silent on which country's courts would handle disputes. They are now threatening to sue us in their home country instead of Malta. Can they actually do that?
