FreeMalta Partners
with Firstbase.
The platform that handles US company formation, business banking and ongoing compliance — entirely online — joins FreeMalta's partner ecosystem.
Sliema, Malta — July 28, 2026. FreeMalta, Malta's AI-native business intelligence platform, today announces a formal affiliate partnership with Firstbase, the platform that enables founders anywhere in the world to incorporate a US company, open a US business bank account and manage ongoing compliance — without leaving their home country.
Firstbase competes directly with Doola in the US LLC formation space, and the competition is healthy. Where Doola emphasises bookkeeping and compliance bundles, Firstbase focuses on the formation and banking setup as a streamlined, end-to-end digital process. State selection, registered agent, EIN, operating agreement — and then a direct path to a US business bank account. For founders who want to get operational fast with minimal friction, Firstbase moves quickly.
For Malta's founder community — SaaS builders targeting US enterprise clients, digital agencies billing American companies, iGaming operators seeking US licensing pathways — the US entity is not optional. It's the entry ticket. Firstbase makes that ticket accessible without a lawyer, without a flight, and without a month of waiting.
Firstbase will be featured across FreeMalta's US LLC for Founders hub alongside Doola and Mercury, and in head-to-head comparisons on The Duel platform — including a direct Firstbase vs Doola vs Stripe Atlas comparison. The partnership page is live at freemalta.com/hub/us-llc-for-founders.
FreeMalta's position is honest: Doola and Firstbase serve the same use case with different emphases. The hub page explains which is right for which founder — there is no single correct answer, only the right fit for your situation.
