Your trusted partner for doing business in Mauritius
CAP Maurice is not just a service provider. We are the partner who supports you before, during and after setting up your company in Mauritius. With transparency, rigour and a single priority: your long-term success.
Our story
Born from a frustrating observation, built with a clear mission.
The problem
CAP Maurice was born from a simple and frustrating observation: too many French-speaking entrepreneurs looking to set up in Mauritius find themselves alone, facing a system they don't understand. Online information is contradictory, local agents often lack transparency, and mistakes are expensive.
The experience
We experienced this reality first-hand. We saw entrepreneurs pay hidden fees, choose the wrong legal structures, or worse, find themselves non-compliant without even knowing it. The problem was never Mauritius as a destination — it was the lack of serious, honest support to get there.
The mission
That's why CAP Maurice exists. We built a service that answers a fundamental question: "If I had to set up in Mauritius tomorrow, what would I need?" The answer: a single point of contact who is competent, transparent about costs and timelines, and who stays present long after the company is created.
Today
Today, CAP Maurice supports entrepreneurs, freelancers and SME owners in establishing their business in Mauritius. Not with promises, but with rigorous work and a genuine long-term commitment.

An entrepreneur, not an advisor. Someone who lived through the tax burden before turning it into his profession.

Our presence in Mauritius
CAP Maurice draws on a team and partner network permanently based in Mauritius: for bank account openings, dealings with the Registrar of Companies, MRA filings and on-the-ground coordination. You get genuinely operational support — not a remote-only service.
Why this transparency matters
We are not a chartered accountancy firm or a law firm. For regulated work (IFRS bookkeeping, audits, formal legal advice), we work with certified Mauritian partners: an accountant registered with the MIPA (Mauritius Institute of Professional Accountants) and a registered law firm. CAP Maurice handles strategic guidance, coordination, client interface and long-term support.
Our approach
What sets us apart isn't a magic formula. It's a way of working built around what truly matters to our clients.
Listening first
Every project is different. Before suggesting anything, we take the time to understand your business, your goals and your constraints. No off-the-shelf solutions — tailored support only.
Total transparency
Our fees are clear from the start. No hidden charges, no surprises along the way. If something changes, you know before anyone else. It should be standard, but it's rare in our industry.
Compliance without compromise
Mauritius offers an attractive tax framework, but it has its rules. We don't look for shortcuts. Every structure we set up complies with Mauritian law and international conventions.
Long-term relationship
Our work doesn't stop once your company is created. Accounting, annual compliance, everyday questions: we remain your permanent point of contact in Mauritius. That's why our clients stay.
How we actually work
No grey areas. Here is exactly what happens when you reach out to us.
First conversation
A 30-minute call, free and with no commitment. We listen, ask questions and understand your project. No sales pitch — just an honest conversation to see if Mauritius is the right option for you.
Analysing your situation
We study your case in detail: business activity, current structure, taxation, goals. We don't sell — we analyse. If Mauritius isn't right for your situation, we tell you honestly.
Clear recommendation
You receive a detailed proposal: recommended structure type, exact costs, estimated timelines and steps to follow. Everything is in black and white. No grey areas, no "we'll see later".
Implementation
We handle all the procedures: incorporation, bank account, licences, registrations. You approve each step, but we do the work. You keep control without the administrative burden.
Ongoing support
Once your company is created, we don't disappear. Monthly accounting, tax filings, regulatory compliance, ad-hoc questions — we remain your point of contact in Mauritius. This is where the real value of our support shows.
Why Mauritius?
Mauritius is not a tax haven. It is a serious, stable and internationally recognised jurisdiction. Here is why it attracts so many entrepreneurs.
Competitive taxation
Corporate tax rate of 15%. Double taxation agreements with over 45 countries, including France, Belgium and many African nations.
Bilingual environment
French and English are both working languages. Administrative documents, the legal system and the business world operate in both languages.
Stable legal framework
British-inspired legal system, internationally recognised. Modern company law and strong investor protection.
Strategic position
At the crossroads of Africa, Asia and Europe. GMT+4 time zone, ideal for working with all three continents in the same day.
Quality of life
Safety, modern infrastructure, reliable internet, reasonable cost of living. Mauritius offers a pleasant living environment for those who choose to relocate.
Market access
As a COMESA and SADC member, Mauritius provides access to a market of over 600 million consumers in Africa. Trade agreements with India, China and Pakistan.
What we don't do
Being upfront about what we don't do is also a way of showing that we take our work seriously.
We don't promise tax miracles
Mauritius offers an attractive tax framework, not a way to evade taxes. We work in full compliance with local and international regulations.
We don't work with dubious schemes
If your project relies on opaque structures or aggressive tax optimisation schemes, we are not the right partner. Our reputation is worth more than any single client.
We don't provide personalised legal advice
We are not lawyers. For complex legal questions, we refer you to partner law firms specialised in Mauritian and international law.
We don't guarantee results without your involvement
Setting up a company in Mauritius is a real project. It requires your time, your decisions and your commitment. We do our utmost, but success is always a shared responsibility.
Our values
Transparency
No hidden fees, no double talk. Our quotes are detailed, our timelines are realistic and when there's an issue, we tell you straight away. Trust is built on truth, not marketing.
Compliance
Every file is treated with the same care, whether it's a freelancer or an SME. We don't cut corners, we don't take shortcuts. The quality of our work is what brings clients back year after year.
Support
Laws evolve, regulations change. We continuously train so your company always stays compliant. You focus on your business, we handle the rest.
Excellence
We don't try to have as many clients as possible. We look for the right clients — those with whom we can build a lasting relationship. Our model is built on loyalty, not volume.
