Register your business in the Maldives, filed correctly the first time.
We prepare and file your registration with the Ministry of Economic Development — whether you’re setting up a sole proprietorship, a partnership, or a private limited company.
Three ways to register, one that fits your business
Maldivian law recognises three main private-sector structures. Compare them before you file — switching later means registering again from scratch.
Company
Separate legal entity with ownership divided into shares.
Limited liability protects shareholders from personal liability for company obligations.
Ideal for businesses seeking growth, investment, or a formal corporate structure.
Partnership
Owned by two or more persons carrying on business together.
Shared responsibility for management, profits, and partnership obligations.
Ideal for businesses operated jointly by two or more persons.
Sole Proprietorship
Owned and controlled by one person with direct control over the business.
Personal liability means the owner is responsible for business obligations.
Ideal for individuals seeking a simple and straightforward business structure.
