Global Business Company

A Global Business Corporation is a licensed corporation by the Financial Services Commission, formed or registered in Mauritius, that primarily conducts business outside of Mauritius. If the company is controlled by non-citizens of Mauritius and its main activities are conducted outside of Mauritius, it must apply for a Global Business License. The license demonstrates substance in Mauritius and allows the entity to benefit from Mauritius’ Double Tax Treaties.

To become a Global Business Company, resident corporations must apply for a Global Business License through a licensed Management Company. As your Corporate Secretary, we can help you find the right Management Company to assist you with the incorporation process that fits your project and budget.
