Licence application – Specialised financial activities

This service is offered to new entities and existing entities that wish to broaden their operations by providing specialised financial service. We also offer assistance to those considering re-domiciliation of their specialised activities under the Mauritius regulations.

To be granted a specialised licence within a reasonable timeframe, it is important to appoint the right corporate service provider. You want a team with expertise in preparing your application files and qualified professionals to analyse your business model.

During a specialised licence application, our services begin with an assessment of the activities to be conducted or being already offered and the future plans of the business. Such assessment is crucial in determining the licence that will fit your business model.

Once the structure has been designed and type of licence defined, we start the application process by:

  • Conducting due diligence on all parties involved. This is a licence requirement that might sound like an excessive task but rest assured that such prerequisite is tantamount to the good reputation of your business on the long term from a compliance viewpoint.
  • Drafting of operation agreements, policies, operation manuals, code of ethics, corporate governance manual and other documentation and getting them reviewed by the legal counsel in Mauritius for the issuance of relevant legal certificates.
  • Finalising the application and submitting to the authorities.
  • Following up and attending to FSC queries until licence is received.

At this point, having successfully passed the nascent stage, we embark on an uninterrupted journey by providing full administrative support and assistance for the good running of your operation while ensuring that your business remains in compliance at all given times.
