8 Corporate Services Ltd

About 8 Corporate Services Ltd

Founded in July 2005 by accountant Massimo Briffa, who had worked in audit and accounting since 1998, this Malta practice operates under the name 8 and is based in Xghajra. The business is deliberately kept compact, with a team of eight and a cap of roughly 200 clients a year, so that the founder can personally meet every client and the same people stay involved over time. It is registered with the Malta Financial Services Authority as a company service provider. Its offering combines accountancy, tax, corporate services and advisory work, and it helps owners start a business or form a limited company for an existing venture. It also supports planning and budgeting, applications for bank finance and EU funding, and the appraisal of private equity investment. The website promotes Malta to overseas companies as a business location, though it does not describe a dedicated international client desk.
