Business 1st widens its service to clients after reaching an agreement with the Planning Authority

Business 1^st and the Planning Authority have reached an agreement to facilitate access to the business community, in particular startups and micro enterprises. Through this service, one can receive guidance on the planning regulations and legislation to be followed when setting up or expanding their business.

Business 1^st can now set up a meeting with a PA official at B1st premises in Imrieħel, or virtually, by an appointment.  

In the case of activities which require MTA licenses, such as the catering industry, the client can now benefit of a holistic service from B1st as all required entities; MTA, Environmental Health Department and the Planning Authority are found under one roof.

This means that businesses and startups can now benefit from a holistic service at B1st, ranging from registering their VAT and tax numbers, registration with Jobsplus, obtaining information and guidance on government incentives including those offered by Malta Enterprise, and applying for required licenses by MTA, Environment Health Directorate and the Planning Authority.

Clients should activate their e ID before coming to B1st  as most services are carried out in a paperless format. The process to activate your eID can be found on       https://subscribedservices.gov.mt/portal/webforms/howdoigetaccesstosubscribedservices.aspx.

Further information about the services at B1st can be obtained by calling 144 or email on info@businessfirst.com.mt.
