Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Working & Living in Mauritius

Answers to the questions investors, professionals and entrepreneurs ask us most about moving to and setting up in Mauritius.

Yes — Mauritius is consistently ranked #1 in Africa for ease of doing business by the World Bank. It offers a 15% corporate tax rate, zero capital gains tax, a robust legal system, political stability, and access to 40+ Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements. The Mauritius business environment for investors is genuinely one of the most favourable in the world, combining African market access with First-World infrastructure.

Yes — foreign investors can own 100% of a company in Mauritius in most sectors. There is no mandatory local partnership requirement for most business types. Some sectors have specific restrictions — we advise on a case-by-case basis during your free consultation.

A standard private company (Ltd) registration typically costs between MUR 10,000–25,000 in government fees, plus professional service fees. A Global Business Company (GBC) has higher setup costs but significantly greater tax efficiency. We provide a full personalised quote — including all government and professional fees — during your free consultation.

The EDB Investor Occupation Permit requires: (1) a minimum investment of USD 50,000 in a Mauritius-registered company, (2) a business plan, (3) proof of fund transfer, and (4) standard identity documents. The permit is valid for 10 years and renewable. We manage the entire application from document preparation to EDB submission.

A standard private company (Ltd) can be registered in 3–5 working days through the CBRD. A Global Business Company takes slightly longer due to FSC requirements. Mauritius is one of the fastest places to register a company in Africa. We handle the entire process remotely — you do not need to be physically present.

Yes — you can open a business in Mauritius completely online and remotely. DNB HR Associates handles all aspects of company incorporation, occupation permit applications, and HR setup on your behalf. We have helped clients from Spain, the UK, India, France, South Africa and beyond set up without ever travelling to Mauritius. All documents are signed digitally.

Mauritius is popular with European investors for several reasons: zero capital gains tax, a 15% corporate tax rate, access to African markets via SADC and COMESA, a stable bilingual legal system, and an English-speaking business environment. It is also a popular choice for UK and EU companies seeking continued access to African markets post-Brexit.

We provide end-to-end HR outsourcing — employment contracts, HR policies aligned with the Workers' Rights Act 2019, recruitment, payroll processing (PAYE, NPF, NSF, CSG, EDF), work permits for foreign employees, and HR compliance audits. Many international clients outsource their entire Mauritius HR function to us, allowing them to focus on their core business from their home country.
