All the steps of incorporation of a domestic enterprise are made with the Registrar of Companies based in Port-Louis. Once registered, the company gets the status of business entity and can undertake commercial activities legally.

A domestic company can be a Mauritian private law firm based in Mauritius or a foreign company registered in Mauritius.

In this sense, we have several categories of domestic company in Mauritius: company under private or public law, company by shares or by guarantee, unlimited or limited liability company.

Naming of a domestic company Mauritian

Important for the identification of your company, the naming must be done accurately. Indeed, before choosing a name for the company, it should be check and the availability must be confirmed with the Registrar of Companies.
