Director Services in Malta


Clients may elect to maintain a high degree of discretion by appointing licensed professional service providers to act as directors of their Maltese companies. This arrangement enables foreign investors to structure their operations in a confidential and compliant manner, while ensuring that the strategic management and control of the company are exercised in Malta, in line with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The engagement of resident professional directors is a well-established and effective mechanism frequently utilised by non-resident owners seeking both sound corporate governance and enhanced privacy. While the names of company directors are publicly recorded at the Malta Business Registry, our authorised trust and fiduciary entity—duly licensed by the Malta Financial Services Authority—may provide or arrange for appropriately qualified individuals to assume directorships on behalf of the ultimate beneficial owners. Such appointments are undertaken strictly within the parameters of Maltese law, including the Civil Code provisions governing the institute of Mandate, thereby ensuring compliance, validity, and the highest standards of confidentiality. Where required, we are also equipped to provide or procure additional local officers to affirm that the company’s management and control are demonstrably exercised from Malta.

Confidentiality Laws in Malta
Malta upholds stringent standards of confidentiality, reinforced by the Professional Secrecy Act, which imposes a uniform and robust obligation of secrecy on all licensed professionals. Any breach of professional secrecy constitutes an offence punishable under Section 27 of the Criminal Code and may result in significant fines and/or imprisonment. Furthermore, any disclosures ordered by a competent court, where expressly permitted by law, are conducted strictly in camera and remain accessible solely to the court and the parties involved.
