How to incorporate a domestic 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.

You have the option of reserving the name you’d like for your company to ensure that it doesn’t get taken before the incorporation of your company.

Step 2: On MNS, download the following forms and get them signed.

• • Form 7: the consent of every director of the proposed company

• • Form 8: (if applicable) – the consent of every secretary of the proposed company

• • Form 9: the consent of every shareholder of the proposed 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 Forms 7, 8 9, constitution of the company, legal certificate and Certificate of Reservation. 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), which is a unique identification number for the company. When venturing into the world of business in Mauritius, it is essential to have a dedicated company secretary to handle your compliance needs.
