Financing Business in Malta

The Maltese government is particularly keen in attracting foreign investment. As a long-term direct foreign investor, you will be more than welcome in the open economy of the country.

Government agencies are often set-up for the very purpose of spawning and nurturing new business. Likewise, expanders can also seize the opportunity to request governmental backing. Governments, worldwide, will always consider the impact and benefit that an established and successful brand will have on their local and national economies. Therefore, official agencies and bodies are generally willing to provide the necessary backing for any company which they see as commercially and economically viable.

Government backing, etc, will also be awarded to companies whose services they see as indispensable, or which the country is crying for. Accordingly then, perks will often be thrown at companies in specific sectors, or as an incentive to establish in a certain region.

Investors and business angels are another method of finding outside backing. These people arent hard to locate; they are always on the scout for a sound investment opportunity, and can be found wherever there is money to be made.

What's at stake, however, is another matter. How much equity in your business would you, if necessary, be willing to relinquish?
