Solicitor for Corporate Law in Rabat

I registered a company in Malta two years ago but it has been completely dormant, no income, no expenses, nothing. I assumed I didn’t need to file anything since there was nothing to report. I recently got a letter mentioning penalties. Was I supposed to file something anyway?

My company in Malta has finished its purpose and I want to close it down properly rather than just letting it go dormant and risk penalties. I’ve seen references to both ‘winding up’ and being ‘struck off’ and I’m not sure which applies to my situation or what the actual difference is.

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.

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?

A private investor wants to put money into my company in Malta in exchange for a 20 percent equity stake through newly issued shares, rather than buying existing shares from me directly. What is the correct legal process to issue new shares properly so this is valid and reflected correctly on the register?

A fellow director of our company in Malta formally resigned in writing over a month ago, but when I checked the public register recently, his name is still listed as an active director. Does this create any legal risk, and whose responsibility is it to fix this?

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?

I want to set up a private limited company in Malta for a small consulting business, just myself as the sole shareholder and director. I’ve heard registration can be quick but I keep getting conflicting timelines from different sources online. What is the realistic process and timeframe through the official registry?
