Outsourcing — Mauritius

Managed Corporate Services for Multi-Entity Groups

A comprehensive, fully managed corporate service package for international groups, family offices and institutional clients with multiple Mauritius entities — combining governance, compliance, accounting, secretarial and reporting under a single, coordinated service.

Request a confidential assessment

International holding structures, private equity platforms and family office arrangements frequently involve multiple Mauritius entities — holding companies, intermediate vehicles, special purpose vehicles, trusts and operating companies — each with its own compliance obligations, filing deadlines, board requirements and reporting needs. Managing these individually through ad hoc service arrangements creates gaps, duplications and inefficiency. Our managed corporate services offering provides a fully integrated, proactive corporate governance and administration service across the entire Mauritius entity portfolio — with a single point of accountability, a unified compliance calendar, consolidated group reporting and proactive management of all regulatory requirements.

Managed Corporate Services Components

Entity Portfolio Management

We maintain a complete register of all Mauritius entities in the group, tracking their legal status, licence status, directors, shareholders, statutory obligations and key deadlines. We flag upcoming obligations, initiate required actions, and provide the client with a consolidated entity status dashboard updated regularly.

Corporate Secretarial (All Entities)

We provide comprehensive corporate secretarial services for every entity in the portfolio — board meeting preparation and minutes, annual general meetings, resolutions, statutory register maintenance, shares register management and filing of all statutory returns with the Registrar of Companies and FSC.

Compliance Calendar and Deadline Management

We maintain a unified compliance calendar across all entities covering regulatory deadlines, tax return due dates, FSC annual fees, CRS/FATCA filings, AML declarations and any other recurring compliance events. We initiate the required work well in advance and ensure no deadline is missed.

Group Financial Reporting

We prepare consolidated or entity-level management accounts across the group on a quarterly or annual basis, coordinating with auditors for year-end financial statements and ensuring that the group's overall financial picture is visible to the principal or family office.

Director and Governance Services

We provide Mauritius-resident directors for entities requiring local board representation, manage board meeting scheduling and attendance, and maintain board packs, attendance registers and minutes. We ensure that management and control is demonstrably exercised from Mauritius where required under FSC economic substance guidelines and bilateral tax treaty provisions.

Regulatory Liaison

We act as the primary point of contact with the FSC, MRA, Registrar of Companies, FIU and other Mauritius regulatory bodies on behalf of the group, managing routine filings, licence renewals, regulatory queries and any audits or inspections.

Entity Rationalisation

Over time, groups often accumulate dormant or redundant entities that generate unnecessary compliance costs and governance complexity. We review the entity portfolio and advise on rationalisation — identifying entities that can be dissolved, merged or deregistered — reducing the overall compliance burden and cost.

Tax Compliance Coordination

We coordinate the MRA tax compliance obligations across all group entities — corporate income tax returns, advance payment system (APS) instalments, withholding tax remittances and CRS/FATCA annual filings. We liaise with the group's appointed tax advisers on planning matters and ensure that all filings are submitted correctly and on time, minimising penalties and MRA enquiries.

Onboarding Managed Corporate Services

Group Mapping and Diagnostic

We conduct a comprehensive review of all existing Mauritius entities — their legal status, licence status, outstanding compliance obligations, current service providers and documentation gaps — producing a group diagnostic report with recommended actions.

Service Scope Agreement

We agree the scope of services for each entity, the reporting structure, the governance framework, and the fee schedule. A master services agreement with entity-specific schedules is executed.

Transition

We manage the transition of each entity — taking over corporate secretarial files, accounting records, statutory registers and regulatory relationships from prior providers, resolving any outstanding matters identified in the diagnostic.

Ongoing Managed Service

We provide the managed service on an ongoing basis, with quarterly group compliance reports, monthly accounting management accounts, and immediate escalation to the client of any material regulatory or legal developments.

Frequently asked questions

What size of group does this service suit?

Managed corporate services is typically most efficient for groups with three or more Mauritius entities. Smaller single-entity clients are equally well served, but the integrated group governance and reporting benefits become most valuable at scale.

Can we keep our existing auditors and legal counsel?

Yes. We work alongside the group's existing auditors, legal advisers and investment managers. Our role is to coordinate and manage the Mauritius-side governance and administration, not to replace the group's professional advisers.

How do you manage entities held by different structures within the same group?

We maintain a clear separation of entities at the legal and reporting level while providing unified oversight at the group level. Each entity has its own compliance file, accounting records and statutory filings, but is tracked within our group management system to enable consolidated oversight.

What happens if a regulatory issue or inspection arises for one of our entities?

We act as the first point of contact with the relevant Mauritius authority — the FSC, MRA or Registrar of Companies — and manage the response on behalf of the entity. We coordinate with the group's legal advisers where the matter requires legal input, and we keep the group principal or family office fully informed throughout. Our experience with FSC inspections, MRA audits and Registrar correspondence means that most routine regulatory matters are resolved efficiently without disruption to the group's operations.

Can managed corporate services be expanded as the group grows?

Yes. The service is designed to scale. New entities can be added to the managed service at any time under the master services agreement, with entity-specific schedules executed for each addition. Volume pricing means that as the group grows, the per-entity cost typically reduces. We also assist with the formation of new entities within the group framework, ensuring they are incorporated and licensed to the same standard from the outset.
