As of 1st March 2025, company incorporations and dissolution documents must be submitted through the Malta Business Registry’s (MBR) online system, BAROS.

This initiative is designed to enhance processing efficiency while fostering a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach.

CEO and Registrar of MBR Geraldine Spiteri Lucas emphasised that the success of BAROS “has underscored the industry’s need for continued digital transformation to benefit practitioners, clients, and the sector.”

With the proper submission of required documents, including due diligence documents and being fully complaint with legal requirements, companies can be incorporated within 24 hours.

“[The system is] something that many practitioners have adapted to, it has strengthened Malta’s competitiveness and now it is the apt time to enforce such measure. Similarly, online company dissolutions will not only shorten waiting times but also improve monitoring processes,” she said.

Dr Spiteri Lucas added that these initiatives are set to streamline processes, eliminate unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles, and complement other projects headed by the MBR to ultimately offer holistic services.

In addition, the MBR will also deliver a training session in mid-January. Registration for this session can be done here.
