ABOUT DÖHLEDöhle Malta is a leading independent corporate and fiduciary services provider and is licensed by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) to provide corporate and fiduciary services. We specialise in managing corporate structures on behalf of multinational corporations, high net worth individuals and professional advisors.

Our client type is weighted toward the maritime and luxury asset proposition (commercial ships, yachts and business jets). As the business grew and matured, it has also helped clients with a very diverse set of needs.

The group established its operations in Malta in 2012 and opened its office in 2013. The immediate parent company of the Maltese operation is headquartered in the Isle of Man and has been operating as a licensed corporate and trust services provider in the Isle of Man since early 2005.

Based in SmartCity, close to the Grand Harbour in Valletta, the office is staffed by experienced personnel well versed in the benefits of Malta as a financial jurisdiction.

Our reputation is grounded in our clients’ confidence in our ability to excel. We combine a world class infrastructure, keen technical knowledge and an intimate understanding of our clients’ needs and aspirations to provide a personal service inspired by a tradition of precision and trust.

ABOUT MALTAMalta is strategically positioned at the centre of the Mediterranean, 93 km south of Sicily (Italy) and 288 km north of Africa. It is just three hours flight time away from the major European financial centres.

Malta’s location has historically given it great strategic importance as a naval base, and a succession of powers have ruled the islands. Malta gained its independence in September 1964 and became a Republic ten years later in December 1974. The Maltese islands continued to prosper and 30 years later joined the European Union and became the smallest member country within the block. As a financial centre, Malta has earned a reputation as a progressive and well-regulated jurisdiction following accession to the EU in 2004 and the adoption of the Euro in 2008.

Through the years, Malta’s legislators have consistently focused on providing an attractive and efficient tax system in line with EU legislation, drawing the attention of international investors and leading it to become a highly developed international financial centre.
