Regulation in Malta

Malta is pushing to the forefront when it comes to running an ICO or crypto company. All big exchanges move now to Malta to get licensed.

Most countries just declared so far that Crypto Currencies are not illegal, however that doesn’t give you any legal security to operate your company and you can not be sure that your operations will be shut down later.

Malta worked out a full legal framework with an authority (MDIA) regulating the crypto industry which will ensure that you can run your business with legal certainty.

On top of that Malta offers the lowest taxes in whole Europe (5% effectively) as well as 2nd lowest employment side costs( only 10% on top of gross salaries).

Both utility and security token ICOs can be done here.

We help companies and ICOs to set up their operations in Malta, get legal advice, obtain licenses and bank accounts. Also, we can offer you a smart contract/token creation services as well as EXCHANGE listing at multiple exchanges.

On top of that, we provide advisory, marketing and investment services.

We are acting as a booking.com for the service industry of Malta. Means we work with all important law firms, accountants, managed offices, corporate service providers, tech and marketing companies.

Using our services is free for the clients.

Exchanges licensed in Malta

At the moment as the official licensing process has not started yet we have a unique opportunity to start exchange operations in Malta already without having the licence before.

Whoever starts his exchange before the licensing starts, can start operating immediately.
and even better, the public launch and trading do not need to happen now but the application process has to be started (lawyers will start working on the application) and the clear intention of launching the exchange in short time must be shown.

This has to happen in October (company formation and some signed contracts to show operational activity).

These contracts will be sufficient:

corporate services agreement (with the lawyers that form the company)
rental agreement (one desk office)
server rental contract (any hosting provider)

Costs:

3500 company first year
3600 accounting first year
4200 one desk office per year
37000 exchange license application Malta

Total: 48.300 euro

If you start now (by the end of October), it can be operating and stay operating until a license has been obtained (you will have 12 months time to get licensed after the official licensing process started).

Fast Track for exchanges

All the lawyers we work with reported to have heard the same thing from the MFSA. The current message is that the laws will become operative one month later, in November, this means that everything has shifted from the end of September to end of October. This is a reliable information, confirmed by different law firms.

One-Desk-Office

This is our co-working space.

Shared meeting room, free parking, WIFI, coffee/water, and a nice basement gym (use on own risk we don’t have trainers ?)

We rent out a desk for 4200 EURO per year (350 per month, if you ask the lawyers in Malta you will get prices between 500-650 euro)

Those are fixed desks with your name sign on it, company name outside at the building.

They fulfil the requirement of having a physical establishment in Malta.
You need a commercial address to get a VAT number – with just the legal address at the lawyers you will not get it.
