Phase-by-phase timeline
1–3 days
1. Initial Consultation
Initial discussion with the management company to define the structure: company type, proposed activities, ownership structure, share capital and licensing requirements. Name availability check. Fee proposal issued and engagement letter signed. This phase is essential for ensuring the structure is properly designed before documents are collected — changes to the structure after KYC submission cause delays.
1–3 weeks
2. Document Gathering
Collection of KYC documents for all parties: directors, shareholders and ultimate beneficial owners. This is typically the longest phase and is entirely within the client's control. Documents must be certified, up to date and complete. Delays at this stage — missing certifications, expired passports, inadequate source of wealth evidence — are the most common cause of overall timeline extensions. Preparing documents in advance of instruction significantly accelerates the process.
3–10 business days
3. KYC Review & Approval
The management company conducts its internal AML/CFT review of the submitted documents. Additional information or clarifications may be requested. For complex ownership structures or higher-risk jurisdictions, this review may involve a compliance committee and take longer. Once the KYC file is approved, the formation process can begin in earnest.
1–3 business days
4. Name Reservation & Incorporation
The management company submits the incorporation documents to the Registrar of Companies: application form, constitution (articles of association), details of directors and shareholders, and the prescribed fee. The Registrar of Companies in Mauritius is generally efficient — straightforward incorporations are typically processed within 1–3 business days. A certificate of incorporation and company number are issued upon approval.
2–4 weeks
5. FSC Licence Application
For a GBC, an application for a Global Business Licence must be submitted to the Financial Services Commission. The application includes the KYC file, a business plan describing proposed activities, the corporate structure, details of the management company and the prescribed FSC application fee. The FSC may raise queries requiring additional information or clarification. Standard GBC applications are typically processed within 2–4 weeks, though complex or first-in-class applications may take longer.
3–5 business days
6. Post-Incorporation Formalities
Once incorporated and licensed, the management company completes post-formation formalities: issue of share certificates, preparation of the initial register of members, appointment of the company secretary, registration of the registered office address, and preparation of the first board resolutions. The company is now legally constituted and licensed, but not yet operational.
2–8 weeks
7. Bank Account Opening
Opening a corporate bank account in Mauritius is a separate process and is typically the longest phase after KYC. Banks conduct their own due diligence on the company and its principals, independent of the management company's KYC process. The timeline depends heavily on the bank selected, the complexity of the ownership structure, and the proposed nature of business and transaction flows. Some banks currently have extended review periods. A realistic expectation for a straightforward GBC bank account is 3–6 weeks from submission of the complete bank application.
1–2 weeks
8. Operational Setup
Once the bank account is open, the company is operationally ready. This phase may include: registration for tax (if applicable), registration with the Mauritius Revenue Authority, economic substance assessment and planning (meeting the substance requirements for the category of activity), appointment of any local employees or executives if required, and setup of accounting and reporting processes. An annual general meeting and annual return must be filed within the first year.
