Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Business Opportunities in Mauritius

Answers to the questions foreign investors, entrepreneurs, and international companies ask us most about 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. This makes Mauritius particularly attractive for foreign investors setting up a company in Mauritius who want full control of their operations. Some sectors have specific restrictions — we advise on a case-by-case basis.
The company incorporation Mauritius cost depends on the structure chosen. A standard private company (Ltd) registration typically costs between MUR 10,000–25,000 in government fees, plus our professional service fees. A Global Business Company (GBC) has higher setup costs but significantly greater tax efficiency. We provide a full quote — including all government fees, professional fees, and an HRDC timeline — during your free consultation. Contact us for a personalised estimate.
The EDB occupation permit Mauritius investor requirements include: (1) a minimum investment of USD 50,000 in a company registered in Mauritius, (2) a business plan, (3) proof of transfer of funds, and (4) standard identity documents. The permit is initially valid for 10 years and is renewable. We manage the entire application process from document preparation to EDB submission — contact us for a free eligibility assessment.
A standard private company (Ltd) can be registered in 3–5 working days through the CBRD (Corporate and Business Registration Department). A Global Business Company takes slightly longer due to FSC (Financial Services Commission) requirements. This makes Mauritius 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 in Mauritius.
Yes — you can open a business in Mauritius online and completely remotely. DNB HR Associates handles all aspects of company incorporation, occupation permit applications, and HR setup remotely on your behalf. We have helped clients from Spain, the UK, India, Mexico, and across Africa set up their Mauritius companies without ever needing to travel to Mauritius. All documents are signed digitally and submitted electronically.
Mauritius is particularly popular with Spanish and European investors for several reasons: the zero capital gains tax (compared to 19–28% in Spain), 15% corporate tax (vs 25% in Spain), access to the Africa market via SADC and COMESA, a stable legal system based on French and English law, and an English-speaking business environment. Moving your business to Mauritius from the UK or Europe is also popular post-Brexit for companies seeking continued access to African markets.
We provide end-to-end HR outsourcing for foreign companies in Mauritius — including 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 of our international clients outsource their entire Mauritius HR function to us, allowing them to focus on their core business from their home country.
