The Malta Business Registry (MBR) has recently introduced a groundbreaking online portal designed to support businesses in evaluating their financial health and determining their future viability. This new tool, launched on November 15, 2024, includes a self-assessment feature that allows Malta companies to confidentially evaluate their current financial status.
The self-assessment tool is part of a broader strategy that incorporates early warning mechanisms, designed to notify businesses when they fall behind on key obligations. Dr. Ingrid Hamilton, Head of the Insolvency and Receivership Service, stated that the tool aims to help businesses monitor their operations proactively, reinforcing the idea that early detection and intervention can prevent more severe financial issues. This initiative is a significant step towards enhancing the digital infrastructure of the MBR, aligning with the ongoing efforts to promote business automation and efficiency. The tool is expected to empower professionals by providing actionable insights into their financial situation, thereby facilitating better decision-making and strategic planning.
Dr. Geraldine Spiteri Lucas, CEO and Registrar of the Malta Business Registry, highlighted the holistic approach of the new services, aiming to support businesses throughout their lifecycle. She noted that restructuring should be seen as a path to recovery rather than a failure, emphasizing that entrepreneurs who encounter setbacks in their initial ventures often achieve greater success in subsequent endeavours.
