Business Profile

Focusing on residence & citizenship by investment since 2014, I redesigned the due diligence process for the Malta Individual Investor Program, which became recognised as the industry's gold standard for due diligence processes. I authored the 3rd edition of the Malta citizenship by investment program handbook, and produced the industry's first risk assessment framework.

In 2018 I founded CIVIQUO, the Investment Migration Platform which helps people to find their next residence or citizenship destination, and in 2020 I established Yakof Agius & Associates, which is a specialist consultancy firm that services governments, firms, and a limited number of direct clients. In 2022, the firm was officially appointed as a consultant for a citizenship by investment program.

Throught my career, I have always sought to design and implement innovative and effective solutions which maximise efficiency. I am keen on projects which have a lasting positive impact on society or the environment.
