Individuals and entities providing corporate services such as the provision of directorships, company secretarial services, registered offices or incorporations must as of Tuesday register as Company Service Providers with the MFSA.
The regulatory change, brought about through amendments of the Company Services Providers Act, gives the Malta Financial Services Authority oversight over operators who previously fell below a threshold established in the act.
These warranted professionals and operators must now fill in an application form to be registered as Company Service Providers with the MFSA.
The application form must be accessed from the MFSA website and submitted through the LH Portal from March 16 to May 16.
