Hello

Hi Maiamaria,

setting up and registering a business in Malta will probably cost a few thousand Euro's. I would recommend professional/legal advice for the process.

Most Expat's in Malta would like to be self-employed, including my partner. The job/business market is very difficult as you probably know with many shops/restaurants opening and closing soon after. You rarely see a really professional approach to opening a business. Just rent a place(or get it rent free for a few months),fill it with something (tunafish cans,disney articles, ...) and pay a Maltese minimal wage for somebody to sit and wait. After a few months when money runs out close it again.

I don't want to de-motivate you but you really need the idea,business plan,market research , enough money and so on.

What experience do you have? Maybe you should just go for 2) until you have the right idea -)))

Cheers
Ricky
