Malta Company Restoration
We can restore Malta companies that have been Struck-Off the Malta Registrar of Companies.
When all the fees and penalties are paid, the Registrar shall restore the name of the company to the register and the company shall be deemed never to have been struck-off and deemed to have been in continued existence.
Terms of timing, they are quite slow – usually resolved in between 6 months to one year, some cases can be decided between 4-5 sittings over the course and take 12-14 months.

Malta Company Restoration Process
If your Malta company was struck-off the Register we can assist, a Court application is lodged. This must be done within 5 years of the striking-off date.
If the Court is satisfied that it is proper that the name of the company is restored to the Register, then it will go ahead and order that such name be restored.
An official copy of the Court Order will be delivered by the Registrar of the Courts to the Registrar, and the company will be deemed to have continued in existence as if its name had never been struck off.
Once your company is restored it will need to also settle all pending filings (including audited accounts, tax returns, annual returns etc) as well as settle outstanding fines with the Registry.
The company must also disclose its beneficial ownership in accordance with its obligations as delineated in the Companies Act (Register of Beneficial Ownership) Regulations (S.L. 386.19 of the laws of Malta)
