Mauritius

Connect African and Asian investment opportunities.

Mauritius provides corporate structures for domestic operations, international business, investment holding, and regulated financial activities. Its global business sector is supervised by the Financial Services Commission, while companies remain subject to applicable corporate, tax, licensing, and reporting requirements.

Mauritius may be considered by investors, international groups, family offices, professional firms, and businesses seeking a structured base for cross-border investment, holding activities, regional ownership, and international services.

Why Mauritius?

International Business Environment

Mauritius is positioned by its Economic Development Board as an international business and investment center supporting both inward and outward investment.

Regulated Global Business Framework

Global business and non-bank financial services are regulated by the Mauritius Financial Services Commission. Activities falling within regulated categories require the appropriate licence, registration, or authorization.

Multiple Structuring Routes

Businesses can consider domestic companies, corporations holding Global Business Licences, Authorised Companies, and separately licensed investment or financial-services structures.

Cross-Border Structuring Potential

Mauritius may form part of international ownership, investment, financing, and operating structures, subject to appropriate commercial purpose, management, substance, tax residence, and regulatory compliance. Treaty access or tax benefits are not automatic and depend on the structure's facts, management, beneficial ownership, substance, and the relevant tax rules.

Mauritius Company and Structuring Options

Domestic Company

For businesses carrying out commercial or operational activities in Mauritius, subject to the relevant registration, tax, employment and sector requirements.

Global Business Corporation

For eligible international holding, investment, financing, professional-services and regional ownership activities. It is managed and controlled from Mauritius and administered by a licensed management company.

Authorised Company

For eligible companies conducting business principally outside Mauritius and maintaining their place of effective management outside Mauritius. A licensed management company must act as the registered agent.

Regulated Investment and Financial Structures

For funds, asset managers, financial-service providers and other regulated activities requiring FSC licensing, registration or supervision.

These activities require separate assessment and may require an FSC licence, registration, local appointments, governance arrangements, audits, regulatory reporting, and continuing supervision.
