Maldives LLC

  • The Maldives limited liability company can only be formed by foreigners with prior approval from the Maldives Government. While the minimum amount of paid-up capital of €15,000 is ten times less than the minimum level required for a SAM, this type of business entity is hence less frequently used by foreigners willing to do business from Monaco. Foreign directors are also required to obtain authorization from the Government before their appointment is legally allowed.
