Malta is an archipelago of seven islands that lies around 50 miles south of Sicily – and it represents a great opportunity for foreign trade as its lack of natural resources mean it imports most of its food and fresh water and all of its energy supply.

Malta became a member of the European Union (EU) in 2004 and joined the eurozone in 2008. Its economy is mainly dependent upon tourism, trade and manufacturing and its EU membership, combined with traditionally well-trained workers, low labour costs and favorable tax regime make it an attractive option for foreign investment.

Ireland’s linguistic and cultural ties can make it feel something of a home-from-home when doing business there, it’s very much it’s own nation, and a long-established trading partner with the UK – not only is the emerald isle the UK’s fifth largest export market, the UK accounts for almost a third (30%) of imports into Ireland, that’s more than any other country.

Flights to Ireland are both cheap and frequent, and so trading there is something of a no-brainer for British businesses. Even so, you could still save a lot of time and money by doing business via conference call on you landline or mobile, rather than in person.
