The reasonably well-developed banking sector in the Republic of Mauritius allows foreign clients to open with local offshore or local banks, of which there are more than 20. By becoming a client of any of the banks in Mauritius, it is possible to finance trade or carry out financial transactions with debit cards and deposits. The Republic of Mauritius is a quiet island nation in the Indian Ocean with an official language of English and French and an official currency which is the Mauritian rupee. The legal system is based on the French civil law system, with some elements of English law.

Mauritius is one of the biggest stock market investors in Asia and Africa. Its economy has achieved a high level of stability and its level of corruption is surprisingly low. This small state has proved to be an advanced reformer of economic reforms, which has created above-average incomes in the region by international standards.

In Mauritius, bank accounts can be opened easily and without complications, irrespective of the type of business. Local banking facilities offer convenient opening hours, quality service and a complete customer focus. One can open an account in the following currencies: dollar, euro, British pound, Swiss franc, Australian dollar and Mauritian rupee. The bank account can be managed through the use of a fax machine or the internet.

Signed in 1961, the Hague Convention allows banking institutions to operate without special legalisation. By international classification, the Republic of Mauritius is not blacklisted, so it cannot be considered a classic offshore zone. Mauritian banks have earned a reputation for being loyal and reliable banks, working for the benefit of their clients.

Corporate structuring, company registration in Ukraine and abroad, tax and reporting, migration, bank accounts, DUNS and NCAGE codes. We run the whole project, from choosing the solution to the finished documents.

Confidentiality under contract

Confidentiality terms are set out in our contract. We do not pass information about a client or their project to third parties, except where the law expressly requires it.

Choosing a jurisdiction

We compare jurisdictions against your business task: tax regime, reporting, substance requirements and access to banking. On the call we go through the upsides and the limits of each option.

Timelines and data

We name the timeline for every step before the work starts — it depends on the jurisdiction, the registrar and the bank. Personal data is used only to deliver the service.

We deal with authorities and banks

We handle the correspondence with registrars, government bodies and banks and answer their requests ourselves. From you we need documents and signatures.

We see every case through

We take each case to the finish: if an authority or registrar comes back with remarks, we revise the documents at no extra charge. The fee is calculated for your task before work starts.
