The right Mauritius entity, GBC, Authorised Company or domestic,
advised, formed and administered by one team, end to end.
Our approach
Establishing a Mauritius entity is not just an administrative exercise. The choice of entity type, Global Business Company, Authorised Company or domestic company, determines your tax position, treaty access, regulatory obligations and the credibility of your structure in the eyes of investors and counterparties.
Nexus handles both sides of this in one conversation. We help you select the right vehicle for your objectives, then manage the full formation and ongoing administration as your licensed Management Company, registered office, resident directors, FSC licensing, company secretarial and compliance.
Whether you are an international investor establishing an Africa holding structure, an entrepreneur relocating to Mauritius, or a fund manager forming an SPV, the answer starts with the right entity choice.
The choice between GBC, Authorised Company and domestic company is not cosmetic, it determines treaty access, tax residency and regulatory cost. Nexus advises on the right fit before anything is filed.
A Mauritian company licensed by the Financial Services Commission to conduct international business activities outside Mauritius. Treated as resident, benefiting from Mauritius’ full treaty framework.
A Mauritian corporate vehicle used for conducting business principally outside Mauritius, where management and control are exercised outside the jurisdiction. Treated as non-resident for tax purposes.
What we do
Five steps. One team. Nexus manages the full formation and ongoing administration of your Mauritius entity.
The right entity depends on what you are trying to achieve, where your activities are and who you are working with. Nexus takes the time to understand your situation fully before recommending a structure, so the advice is genuinely tailored, not generic.
Nexus manages the incorporation process from start to finish, preparing the necessary documents, liaising with the relevant authorities and ensuring your entity is correctly constituted and ready to operate.

A Global Business Company requires an FSC licence before it can operate. Nexus coordinates the licensing process, supporting with documentation where needed and managing the FSC review through to approval. The business plan is typically led by the client, who knows their business best.
Formation is the beginning. Nexus handles all ongoing obligations, annual returns, FSC compliance reporting, board meetings, KYC refresh, secretarial. You focus on your business; we handle the administration.
Clients come to Nexus with different objectives, but the need is often the same: a credible, well-structured platform for cross-border activity, investment, asset holding or relocation.
