Licensing Mandate
Under the Financial Services Development Act, every Mauritius company must engage a registered agent licensed by the Financial Services Commission as a management company.
AML and Tax Compliance
Agents are bound by Mauritius AML regulations and must ensure their clients' tax filings and financial summaries are submitted to the FSC and MRA.
Regulatory Accountability
Licensed management companies are held to professional standards by the FSC and must comply with ongoing supervisory requirements and periodic reviews.

The registered agent handles annual licence renewals, company registration fees, and all returns mandated under the Companies Act and Financial Services Act.

Who Engages This Service?
Mauritius mandates that every company appoint a registered agent with the Financial Services Commission. Here are the common scenarios where this service is critical.
New Company Licence Applications
Establishing a company in Mauritius requires appointing a registered agent before the FSC grants a licence. We guide the application process and continue as your designated agent post-incorporation.
Changing Your Management Company
Switching agents in Mauritius involves FSC approval and coordinated handover of records and substance documentation. We manage the entire process to ensure your licence conditions remain unaffected.
Africa & India Gateway Investments
Mauritius serves as a preferred gateway for investments into Africa and India, leveraging its extensive double-taxation treaty network. These structures need an agent to handle substance requirements, audited accounts, and FSC returns.
International Fund Promoters
Foreign fund managers and promoters who choose Mauritius for its regulatory framework need local agent support to satisfy the FSC's economic substance requirements, board meeting coordination, and annual compliance filings.

Essential information about registered agent requirements for Mauritius companies.
Yes. The Financial Services Act and the Companies Act require all Mauritius companies to appoint a management company (registered agent) licensed by the Financial Services Commission (FSC). This is a fundamental condition for holding a licence.
Day-to-day tasks include liaising with the FSC, filing annual returns and financial summaries, maintaining statutory registers, coordinating licence renewals, processing director and shareholder changes, and monitoring compliance with substance requirements.
Yes. Companies may transfer to a new registered agent by following the FSC's prescribed process. The new management company takes over responsibility for your corporate records and filings, and the transition is structured to avoid any compliance interruption.
A Mauritius company without an FSC-licensed registered agent risks having its licence revoked. This effectively prevents the company from conducting international business and can lead to its removal from the register.
Management company fees in Mauritius vary based on the complexity of services required. Our Mauritius packages include registered agent services as part of the overall price — no separate agent fees. This covers FSC liaison, annual filing, and compliance oversight.
Beyond standard duties, agents can assist with substance arrangements, tax residency certificate applications, coordination with auditors, preparation of financial summaries for the FSC, and guidance on treaty network optimisation for your company.
Confirm the agent holds a valid FSC management licence. Assess their familiarity with compliance requirements, responsiveness to client needs, whether they offer transparent all-in pricing, and their track record with international corporate structures.
Yes. The FSC requires all management companies to maintain a physical office in Mauritius staffed with qualified professionals. This ensures your company has local representation and that substance requirements can be met through the agent's in-country operations.
