Corporate Secretarial Services in Mauritius
Statutory registers, board resolutions, regulatory filings and governance documentation — managed accurately and on time for Mauritius companies of all types.
Corporate secretarial work forms the bedrock of a well-governed Mauritius company. Every company incorporated in Mauritius is required by the Companies Act 2001 to maintain accurate statutory registers, hold annual meetings (where required), pass properly documented resolutions, file annual returns and keep its corporate records up to date with the Registrar of Companies. For GBC companies, the FSC also imposes its own governance and reporting obligations. A failure to maintain proper corporate records is not merely a technical breach — it can invalidate decisions, expose directors to personal liability, jeopardise the company's good standing and, in extreme cases, lead to the revocation of licences. Our corporate secretarial team manages all these obligations with precision, ensuring that your statutory records are always current, accurate and properly maintained.
Scope of corporate secretarial services
Statutory Registers and Record-Keeping
We maintain all mandatory statutory registers required under the Companies Act, including the Register of Members, Register of Directors, Register of Charges and Register of Beneficial Owners. These records are maintained in secure digital and physical formats and are available for inspection by authorised parties on request.
Board and Shareholder Resolutions
We draft, circulate and process board resolutions and shareholder resolutions — whether passed at meetings or by way of written resolution. All resolutions are properly dated, executed and filed in the company's minute books. We ensure that the resolution is appropriate in form and content for the specific corporate action being authorised.
Annual Returns and Statutory Filings
Every Mauritius company must file an annual return with the Registrar of Companies within the prescribed period after its financial year end. We prepare and file these returns and any other required notifications — including changes of director, changes of address, alterations to the constitution and allotments of shares — within applicable timeframes.
Certified Copies and Apostille
We prepare certified copies of corporate documents — certificates of incorporation, constitutions, registers, certificates of good standing — and arrange for apostille authentication where documents are required for use in foreign jurisdictions. We maintain a document management system to ensure quick retrieval of corporate records.
Our secretarial workflow
Corporate records audit
For new clients, we conduct a review of all existing corporate records to establish a complete and accurate baseline. Any gaps or inconsistencies in the statutory registers or filing history are identified and remedied.
Maintenance of registers and minute books
We update the statutory registers promptly whenever a change occurs — new shareholders, new directors, share transfers, changes of address — and maintain a comprehensive minute book of all board and shareholder decisions.
Filing management
We maintain a filing calendar for each client entity and submit all required documents to the Registrar of Companies, the FSC and other regulatory bodies within prescribed deadlines, retaining proof of filing for each submission.
Document certification and apostille
On request, we prepare certified extracts from the statutory registers, certified copies of corporate documents and Certificates of Good Standing, and arrange apostille authentication through the Mauritius authorities for international use.
