Navigating the landscape of EU and government funding in Malta can be complex, with around sixty different opportunities available, each with unique timelines, objectives, and eligibility criteria. From non-repayable grants to tax credits and loan guarantees, securing the right funding can be transformative for your startup, SME, or expanding enterprise. We specialise in guiding businesses like yours through the entire process – from identifying the perfect scheme to successful project implementation – ensuring your growth ambitions are realised.

Malta offers a diverse array of funding opportunities, providing non-repayable grants, tax credits, loans, and loan guarantees to support businesses at every stage. These range from a few thousand euros for business reporting to multi-million euro loan guarantees. We guide you to the most suitable schemes for objectives such as:

• Strategic Investment: Securing funds for the purchase or retrofitting of commercial premises, industrial space, or strategies aimed at investment reduction. 

• Innovation & Digitalisation: Supporting research & development (R&D) and digitalisation initiatives.

• Business Development: Assisting with startup and SME support, market research, and trade promotion.

• Human Capital & Efficiency: Funding for skills development, family business support, and commercial rent subsidies.

We also help navigate the nuances of eligibility, where aid intensity typically increases for SMEs. This includes understanding the specific criteria for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises based on headcount, turnover, or balance sheet totals, and the complexities of 'Linked Enterprises'. We ensure your project's eligibility is maximised, avoiding pitfalls such as projects commencing prior to funding application.
