Solicitor for Corporate Law in Zurrieq

Our company in Malta is a bit behind on preparing audited financial statements for the last financial year, mostly due to delays on the accountant’s side.

Our company in Malta has three directors, and two of them recently signed a significant supply agreement on the company’s behalf without holding any formal board meeting or passing a resolution.

I’m a director of a small limited company in Malta that has been struggling financially and is now behind on payments to a supplier.

Is that not always true?
