Mauritius: A Stable, Business-Friendly
Hub for Incorporation and Residency
An International Gateway for Business, Backed by Legal and political Stability.
Mauritius offers a dynamic, pro-business environment and serves as a strategic gateway between Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Located in the Indian Ocean, it has become a trusted base for international trade and investment.
A former colony of both France and Britain, Mauritius gained independence in 1968 and became a republic in 1992 with the adoption of a new constitution. Today, it is a stable parliamentary democracy, with an appointed president as head of state and a legislature elected every five years by popular vote.
Its legal system blends French civil law with English common law, creating a unique and investor-friendly framework. Mauritius also retains the Privy Council in the United Kingdom as its highest court of appeal, ensuring legal transparency, independence, and certainty.
