The minimum amount of share capital that is required is €1,165, of which 20% needs to be paid upon company incorporation. The minimum number of shareholders is two, however in the case that a corporate body is a shareholder then the minimum number of shareholders can be one. The shareholder number is subject to specific requirements thus all companies have to ensure that they are in compliance with the Malta company regulations.

All Malta offshore companies are required to have a registered office in Malta with a registered agent. It takes up to 2-3 working days to incorporate an offshore company in Malta.
