Process
Mauritius Company Formation: Your Roadmap to Success
We've designed a process where you stay informed at every turn—clear expectations, prompt updates, and dedicated support when you need it.
01
Let us learn about you and your business
Same Day
Establishing a Mauritius company requires first understanding your objectives. Describe your business vision, intended operations, preferred ownership configuration, and any special considerations relevant to your situation.
We reject one-size-fits-all methodologies. We take care to comprehend the people involved, your schedule expectations, and what forming a Mauritius entity genuinely means for your plans. This shapes our tailored recommendations.
This is equally your time to pose inquiries, clear up uncertainties, and obtain full visibility into the process—including open pricing without concealed fees. When finished, you'll possess definitive clarity about everything ahead.
02
Help us perform KYC and due diligence
1-3 Days
With clarity on your needs, we'll detail the documentation required from you and all associated parties. Following invoice settlement, our compliance personnel begin the mandatory screening to ensure conformity with Mauritius Financial Services Commission standards.
Dialogue is typical during this interval—we may request clarifications or further documentation. While this might feel intensive, we guide you through each ask with complete transparency on its purpose.
Timeline for this phase largely depends on the promptness and accuracy of your submissions. Swift, complete documentation means accelerated progress. We communicate regularly so you're continually updated on where things stand.
03
Paperwork, signatures, and application
3-5 Days
With compliance approval secured, we advance to preparing your documentation. Our team produces all required incorporation papers tailored to your needs—understanding complex legal forms isn't your burden to bear.
Once complete, documents are shared for your signature with clear directions on how to sign correctly. We've streamlined this step for maximum ease.
When signed documents arrive, we proceed with formal filing at the Mauritius Registrar of Companies and submit licensing applications to the Financial Services Commission. We track your application through both approvals, maintaining steady communication throughout. The moment of success draws near!
04
Good News: Happy Incorporation!
Week 2-4
Outstanding news! The Registrar and Financial Services Commission have granted approval—your Mauritius company is now an official legal entity!
The instant we receive confirmation, we'll forward digital copies of your corporate documents for prompt utilization. Included are your Certificate of Incorporation, Constitution, and other official company materials.
Hard copy originals will be dispatched in due course. Presently, you have all that's needed to advance—establishing banking, signing agreements, or starting operations. Congratulations on attaining this major milestone!
05
Wait! There's more post incorporation
Week 4+
Incorporation is accomplished, yet some post-registration formalities complete the picture. We'll share supplementary documents for your signature to ensure your corporate records are thorough and fully compliant.
These represent routine measures keeping company documentation current and in proper standing with the Registrar. We'll explain what each document achieves along the way.
If you've opted for additional services like banking assistance, our relevant team will connect with you soon to start that process. We support you beyond formation—as a continuing partner in your Mauritius company's compliance and enduring success.
