Why you should locate your operation in Malta

1. Competitiveness within the Eurozone

According to the Maltese Government, Malta’s economy is growing 4 times as fast as other countries within the Eurozone.

 

2. Road to European Citizenship

Legal Notice 47 of 2014 has secured the first individual investment program accepted by the European Commission. The Legal Notice established a program, also known as the “Individual Investor Programme of the Republic of Malta … [which allows] for the grant of citizenship by a certificate of naturalization to foreign individuals and their families who contribute to the economic development of Malta”. This unique return on investment can be acquired through a step-by-step procedure in which we would be delighted to assist you with.

 

3. A hub for iGaming, Technology and Finance

Given Malta’s lack of natural resources, they have been driven to competitiveness when it comes to Tax, Legal infrastructure and other benefits. Foreign investment in Malta is the first, second and third item on the agenda.

 

4. Innovation Driven

The annual Global Competitiveness Report for 2014-2015, of the World Economic Forum, classified Malta’s Economy right beside countries like Japan, Switzerland, the United States and another 33 countries who share the same concept.

 

5. Language

While the Maltese take pride in their national language, English is another first language to them due to previously being a British colony. During the rule of the British over the Maltese, Italian was the official language and due to its geographical closeness, one can safely claim that almost everyone understands basic Italian and there is a good number of individuals who are fluent.

 

6. Mediterranean climate and lifestyle – the whole package

Malta and its sister island Gozo are not only blessed with natural beaches and an excess in Vitamin D, but the hospitality, culture and entertainment industries are among the many blessings Malta is gifted with. These have been fully nurtured by the Maltese themselves who along the years have seen the potential of the tourist industry on the island.

 

7. Longer days

This means you can spend more time taking care of your tan, indulging in that Mediterranean dish and washing it down with a glass of local white wine.

 

8. Small Size

The island’s size holds many benefits. It is easy to personally get to know the persons who act as referees in this business. It is also easy to meet all the relevant people in person, even the airport is minutes away from any part of Malta.

 

9. Safety

Malta’s crime is low and its health system is very efficient., as mentioned in the annual Global Competitiveness Report for 2014-2015 of the World Economic Forum. This renders it a truly pleasant island to relocate to, not only alone, but as a family.

A word from our Senior Advisor

E

ver since bookmakers and casino games have moved on to the online platform, the results have yielded success to both those land based operations which made themselves available online, and to those companies who embarked their business journey through iGaming.

The industry has been with us for some time, and it has always been rapidly evolving. I believe its dynamic nature renders it impossible to keep up with all the aspects of its development from the confines of your office chair. This is, even more so if you have been too focused on making your current product work or too immersed in the development of a niche in your current operation and consequently being in the dark when it comes to other possibilities, old and new. This is where the consultant comes into the picture.

I have been doing the traveling, and the catching up in this industry in the name of my partners for quite a while now. While I do not plan to share my age (let’s say I am way past my 30s), this can be an important factor; newcomers cannot ever possess the knowledge, more specifically the knowledge of past mistakes, if they haven’t lived in this industry long enough, or simply worked in one industry for that matter.

You see, iGaming takes bits and pieces of different sectors, essentially it is a structure made of different interconnected parts. While essentially I am really and truly an iGaming professional, my previous experience has molded me into a Jack of all trades, and it is only in Malta that I have managed to be a master of all. Malta enabled me to fully consume my potential because it is an island where trades are realisable, and this is mostly facilitated by its small size.

The island of Malta has numerous investment opportunities, apart from gaming, all of which can be at the tip of your fingertips with the right connections. I found myself able to complete more than three projects in a very short time. It would have been impossible for me to do such a thing if I had to be in the United Kingdom or Italy.
