Setting up and organising a company in Mauritius

Form and Structure Your Company

Choice of entity, equity ownership, management authority, and shareholder relationships: decisions made at the outset should support both day-to-day operations and future growth. We help you design this structure and coordinate its implementation, including incorporation, shareholder agreements, corporate governance, and ongoing corporate administration.

Working with management companies and other relevant professionals, we coordinate the administrative, banking, and operational steps required to launch your business.

Acquiring a business or bringing in an investor

Acquire, Sell, or Bring in an Investor

An acquisition or sale involves more than agreeing on a price. It requires understanding the business being acquired, identifying risks, and defining the terms of the transaction.

LEGALYS helps prepare the transaction and coordinates due diligence and the advisors involved in negotiations, transaction documents, and closing.

We consider financing, tax implications, and shareholder relationships throughout the process.

Mauritian taxation

Plan for Mauritian Taxation

Corporate income tax, VAT, compensation, dividends, and cross-border payments: we coordinate the assessment of the taxes applicable to your activities in Mauritius and their implications in other relevant jurisdictions.

Our goal is to help you make informed decisions, taking into account applicable requirements, tax filing obligations, and the substance of your operations in Mauritius.

Contracts and staff

Manage Your Contracts and Workforce

Customers, suppliers, commercial partners, and employees: your growth depends on clearly defined relationships.

Together with our partners, we coordinate support for your commercial contracts and employment matters, including hiring, employment agreements, compensation, changes to employment terms, and termination.
