Services & Assistance

Securing a financial & insurance service license in Malta involves a structured process that ensures compliance with MFSA regulations and requirements. The application process generally consists of three basic steps:

  • Preparatory phase: This initial phase begins with a meeting at the MFSA, where your company meets with MFSA representatives to discuss the application procedure and the documentation required to obtain the licence.
  • Pre-licensing phase: Following successful preparation, the MFSA will grant approval for the issuance of the financial services licence. With approval, you will be able to proceed with the registration of your company with the Maltese Trade Registry, taking a significant step towards full operation.
  • Post-licensing phase: The journey does not end with the licence. The post-licensing phase may entail additional requirements that the company must fulfil as part of its ongoing commitment to regulatory compliance.
