How to incorporate a company in Mauritius?

Incorporation of companies can be effected online via the Mauritius Network Services (MNS), the online service provider of the Registrar of Companies (ROC).

Step 1: Register on MNS to obtain a username and password.

Step 2: Reserve the name you’d like for your company.

Step 3: Fill in your application online on MNS Portal and upload all related documents.

Fill in the Form 1: “Application for incorporation of a company” on MNS and upload (where applicable) the Form 7 (Consent of Director), Form 8 (Consent of Secretary) Form 9 (Consent of Shareholder), constitution of the company, legal certificate and Certificate of Reservation.

You must also submit the following documents:

• Photocopy of Passport for non-residents.
• Copy of residence permit if the only director is a foreigner.
• Proof of director’s address (Ex: Utility Bill).
• Proof of address of secretary in case of one person company.

Note: Incomplete or unclear applications will get rejected or may get queries.

Step 4: Payment

Once the incorporation application has been approved, you must pay the annual registration fee at the CBRD or via its online platform using a credit card.

After payment of the prescribed fee, the Registrar will issue an Electronic Certificate of Incorporation and a Business Registration Card (BRC) with the Business Registration Number (BRN).

Note: For the Incorporation of a Company holding a Category 1 or 2 Global Business Licence, the incorporation is only affected after approval is received from the Financial Services Commission.
