Company Incorporationin Mauritius Handled Expertly End-to-End for You

Everything needed to bring the company into existence and see it through its first year: name check, structure advice, due diligence, drafting and filing of the incorporation documents, the government fee, the statutory registers, digital copies of every document, and the management company and registered office for the first year. The Scope of Work section above lists every item; the higher packages add original certificates, apostille and further services.

Our packages start from US$2,849, which covers the government fee, our work and the first year of management company and registered office. The pricing section above shows what each package includes; from year two, renewal starts from US$2,699 a year. The figure we quote is the figure you pay.

Yes. The whole process is handled remotely: the initial conversation, the due diligence, the signing of documents and the filing. Nothing requires your presence, and no original document has to be posted to us before incorporation.

We send the documents with every signature point marked and a short note on how to sign each one. You print, sign by hand, scan and return them electronically. Where a document needs to be witnessed or notarised, we tell you in advance so nothing has to be redone.

For every director, shareholder and beneficial owner: a certified copy of a passport, a proof of address issued within the last three months, and a short description of the source of funds and professional background. Corporate shareholders provide their constitutional documents and registers. The Documents section above sets out the list and the certification rules, and an advisor checks each item with you before anything is submitted.

No. Due diligence on every person connected to the company is required by Mauritius anti-money laundering law before anything can be filed, and it applies to every client without exception. What we can do is make it quick: one checklist, clear format guidance, and a review of each document as it arrives.

Tell us what the company is for and who is behind it, using the form below or by email. An advisor comes back with the structure we recommend, the exact document list and the full fee. If you decide to go ahead, we issue an invoice and begin the due diligence as soon as it is settled.

An Authorised Company is treated as non-resident for Mauritius tax purposes because its management and control are outside Mauritius, so it pays no Mauritius tax on its foreign-sourced income. It files an annual return of income with the Mauritius Revenue Authority, and it cannot use the Mauritius tax treaty network. Obligations may still arise where the owners live.

Only in a limited way. An Authorised Company's filed documents are not open to public inspection; on request and payment of a fee, the Registrar of Companies will release the company name, registered office, registered agent, proof of incorporation, legal status and the list of directors. Shareholder and beneficial ownership information is held by the management company, the Registrar and the Financial Services Commission and is not published.

One director and one shareholder are enough. To qualify as an Authorised Company the majority of shares must be held by non-citizens of Mauritius and management and control must be exercised outside Mauritius, so directors are typically non-resident. Corporate directors and shareholders are permitted.

There is no minimum share capital. Shares may be issued with or without par value and in any currency, and the company may not hold a bank account in Mauritian rupees.

An Authorised Company can hold investments and assets, trade internationally, own intellectual property and act as a holding company for activities conducted principally outside Mauritius. It may not hold a Mauritian-rupee bank account, own property in Mauritius or employ staff resident there, and it cannot carry on banking, financial services, fund management, corporate or trustee services at all; those require a Global Business Company authorised by the Financial Services Commission.

The name usually ends in Limited or Ltd, and it must not be identical to an existing Mauritius company or be misleading. Words such as Corporation, Authority, Government, Mauritius, National, State, Chartered or anything implying a bank, insurer, trust or government connection need the Registrar's written consent. We reserve the name with the Registrar as the first step.

Yes, and in fact the law requires it. An Authorised Company must have its central management and control outside Mauritius, so running it from your home country is the expected arrangement. That may make the company tax resident there, which is worth confirming with a local adviser.

No office or staff in Mauritius are required, and an Authorised Company may not employ staff resident in Mauritius. The law requires a management company in Mauritius to act as registered agent and provide the registered office, which is included in your first year. No company secretary is required.

There is no audit requirement. An Authorised Company files a financial summary with the Financial Services Commission within six months of its year end and a return of income with the Mauritius Revenue Authority, and it must keep accounting records for seven years.

A Global Business Company is tax resident in Mauritius, must be managed and controlled there, can use the treaty network and pays Mauritius tax at a partial exemption. An Authorised Company is managed from outside Mauritius, is not tax resident there and cannot use the treaties, but is simpler and cheaper to run. We recommend one after understanding what the entity is for.

The annual authorisation fee is set by the Financial Services Commission, currently US$1,400 from 1 July 2026, and is payable by 1 July every year alongside the Registrar of Companies' annual registration fee of US$130. Both are included in our renewal packages.

No. The Companies Act annual return, which ordinary Mauritius companies file publicly within 28 days of their annual meeting, is expressly disapplied for an Authorised Company. The company's yearly filings are instead the financial summary with the Financial Services Commission and the return of income with the Mauritius Revenue Authority, neither of which is public.

Mauritius does not apply the offshore-style economic substance regime to an Authorised Company, because the company is by definition managed and controlled outside Mauritius and is not tax resident there. The Global Business Company, by contrast, must show substance in Mauritius.

A late authorisation fee attracts surcharges rising with each month of delay and, if left unpaid for six months, the authorisation lapses; a late return of income costs 2,000 rupees a month up to 20,000 rupees, with interest on any tax due; and a late financial summary attracts a daily administrative penalty from the Financial Services Commission. We hold all the dates so none of this happens.

Send us one email. We draft the resolution, collect signatures, update the registers held by the management company and file the change with the Registrar of Companies and, where required, notify the Financial Services Commission. A change of name is approved by the Registrar and a new certificate is issued. Most changes are completed within a week or two.

Renewal starts from US$2,699 a year and covers the government fee, the management company and registered office, the annual filings, secretarial work and the statutory records. The Compliance section above shows what each renewal package includes, and the full detail is on the compliance pricing page.

Yes. A company can change its management company, and Mauritius law allows a company to redomicile out of Mauritius or a foreign company to redomicile in. We handle either filing on request.
