Business Registration In Mauritius
Step 1: Select the Appropriate Business Structure
Before you begin registering your company, it is crucial to determine the most suitable business structure for your needs. TBI Business Advisors, our recommended service provider, will thoroughly assess your business requirements and activities to identify the structure that best meets your needs. In Mauritius, there are several options available, including:
- Domestic company
- Global business company (GBC)
- Authorized Company (AC)
- Trust
- Protected Cell Company (PCC)
Each structure has its own specific requirements, so it is important to choose the one that aligns with your business. Here is a list of the different company licenses available in Mauritius.
If you intend to establish a domestic company, please continue reading below. This process is simpler and can be handled by a local accounting firm, which can assist with the company incorporation, registered office, company secretary, and, if needed, a local director.
If you plan to set up a GBC, AC, or PCC, you will need to engage a management company, which is a specialist corporate service provider licensed by the FSC. Please refer to this link for more details on what to consider.
Step 2: Reserve Your Business Name
Once you have determined your preferred business structure, the next step is to check if your desired business name is available and reserve it with the Registrar of Companies. This ensures that no other company can use the same name. Our team will handle this entire process on your behalf.
Step 3: Gather the Required Documents
To initiate the registration process, you will need to provide key information and documents, including:
- Personal details of stakeholders
- Choice of company liability (shares or guarantee), share amount and value, business activity, address, and contact information
- Certificate of incorporation
- Consent from all directors and shareholders
