Why set up a company in Mauritius?

Zero income tax, zero taxation (compensated only by a minimal fee to the government of $300).
Only one shareholder and one director are required (only a local secretary is needed, which we will appoint).
Time is money. Incorporating a business takes only one week, while in some jurisdictions the process can take months. Don't let your business wait, set up a company in Mauritius today!

No initial capital required
90 % of the population speaks English, making it easier for you and your employees to do business.

The register of companies is not public
If we really want to achieve maximum anonymity, it is possible to use nominee services. Minimal paperwork saves you time. No accounting, tax returns or audits are required. The annual meeting can be held anywhere. So you can meet your partners in the country you are currently in, sign the documents and send them to Mauritius.

No Withholding Taxes
Thanks to its strategic location, Mauritius is popular among investors, especially as a gateway to India or the African market. A stable banking environment, which is very important for offshore destinations. (set up an offshore bank account!)
