Qormi has three firms: two accounting firms, one medium and one belonging to a large network, and one small corporate service provider. Between them they cover the full set of everyday services for a foreign-owned company, from company formation to accounting, tax compliance, VAT and payroll, though only one offers audit and none offers a virtual office.
The clients described point to established businesses. Family businesses are named by two firms, and multinationals by two. Others mention family offices, private clients, foreign individuals relocating to Malta and local businesses. Sector mentions are mixed: family businesses, yachting, financial services, property rental, retail, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, insurance and consultancy. Three of three firms focus on foreign clients.

The entity types named are companies, branches, private foundations and trusts. Licences mentioned include a Company Service Provider authorisation at Category C, a trustee and administrator authorisation for private foundations, and the authorisation held by a corporate services arm of a large network. If you plan a foundation or a trust, ask which entity within the group is authorised and what the ongoing duties and fees are.
Two of the three firms offer company formation and corporate secretarial services, and two assist with bank accounts or residence and visas. The firms here do not state a working language beyond the default, so state your preferred language in the request and ask each firm to confirm it before you sign.
For how registration works, see the guide to setting up a company in Malta. The larger groups are in Birkirkara and Valletta, and Pieta has two network accounting firms. You can send one free quote request.
Two are accounting firms, one medium and one part of a large network, and one is a small corporate service provider. All three focus on foreign clients.
Family businesses and multinationals are each named by two firms. Others name family offices, private clients, foreign individuals relocating to Malta and local businesses.
Entity types named include private foundations and trusts, and one firm mentions authorisation as trustee and administrator. Ask which entity holds the authorisation and what the ongoing duties are.
One of the three firms offers audit. If you need audited accounts, ask whether an independent auditor will be used, or look at Msida where all four firms offer audit.
None of the three firms offers one. Sliema, Ta' Xbiex and Naxxar each have firms that offer a registered address or virtual office, so compare those pages if you need one.
