Where we register companies

Opening a company in Mauritius

Republic of Mauritius is one of the most progressive jurisdictions in the African region. The jurisdiction will be of interest for trade with the Middle East, China, Africa, and for obtaining tax benefits. Despite Mauritius reorganizing its tax system and aligning it with international standards, opportunities for non-residents to avoid paying local taxes remain. Moreover, the introduced requirements for suspension only affected companies that are established for conducting commercial activities within the country. This region is attractive for businesses such as: financial services, asset management, securities trading, shipping, international trade, logistics, IT, dealer and brokerage activities, and fund creation.

Opening a Company in the Seychelles

The Seychelles is a favorable offshore zone for international business. The country maintains neutrality, often does not impose strict sanctions, and allows for maximum secrecy for foreigners. All owners of companies, yachts, ships, and airplanes are anonymous. A company in Seychelles is suitable for conducting any type of activity, except for licensed activities, as in this case it is immediately recognized as a tax resident of the country and pays local taxes. It is also advantageous to create investment funds and trusts on the island. With the right approach to building a business in this offshore zone, its advantages are undeniable.
