Guide To Companies In Mauritius

PREFACE

This is the Fourth Edition of the Guide, which we have produced for the information of our clients and professional colleagues. This edition takes account of changes brought about by the Companies Act 2001 and the Financial Services Act 2007.

This Guide is divided into five parts:

1. Mauritian Companies

2. Foreign Companies in Mauritius

3. Compromises with Creditors, Arrangements, Amalgamations and Minority Buy-out Rights

4. Mergers and Takeovers

5. General Information

Under the heading of General Information, we have dealt with matters such as banking facilities in Mauritius, accountants, registers and inspection, and other topics.

This Guide is concerned primarily with "global business companies" and "foreign companies"; little reference has, therefore, been made to those provisions of the Companies Act 2001 which regulate the carrying on of business by domestic companies in Mauritius.
