Timeline to Set Up a Mauritius Offshore Company
International entrepreneurs no longer structure offshore for secrecy — they structure for efficiency, asset protection, market access and banking resilience, all within a fully compliant framework.
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.
Step by Step
- Structuring call. Residency, activity and banking mapped; jurisdiction confirmed in writing.
- KYC pack. Certified passport, proof of address, source-of-funds note; name pre-cleared with the registrar.
- Filing. Incorporation under the Mauritius Companies Act 2001 & FSA rules; certificate issued in 5–10 business days.
- Documents. Apostilled corporate set couriered worldwide, built to bank checklists.
- Banking & compliance. Matched bank introductions plus a renewal calendar (annual fsc licence and audit).
