What your company receives
Company Incorporation Mauritius: Key Registration Documents
Once an application complies with the applicable requirements, the Registrar issues a Certificate of Incorporation Mauritius and a unique company number. The business-registration details are then used for the company’s subsequent operational, banking, tax, employment and compliance steps.
Depending on the business activity, you may also need a Business Registration Card Mauritius, licences, tax registrations, employer registration or other operational approvals. DNB helps identify the relevant actions for your particular project.
Start with the right foundation
Choose the structure that fits your plans
The best structure depends on your activity, shareholders, regulatory position and whether you will operate locally or internationally. DNB helps you consider the relevant options before incorporation.
Private Company Limited by Shares
A common option for entrepreneurs, SMEs and foreign-owned businesses operating in Mauritius.
Foreign Company / Branch
For an overseas company establishing a Mauritius presence without forming a separate subsidiary.

For qualifying international investment, trading or cross-border activities requiring specialist advice.
Project or Joint Venture Vehicle
