Documents Checklist for a Mauritius Offshore Company
An offshore structure is only as strong as the planning behind it. The difference between a resilient international company and an expensive mistake usually comes down to decisions made before incorporation, not after.
Mauritius GBCs are the premier treaty-based gateway for investment into Africa and India. This guide walks through the practical path for the Mauritius Global Business Company (GBC): 5–10 business days to incorporate, no minimum capital, and 3% effective rate possible with foreign tax credit.
