Mauritius Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Company register search for 16,466 Mauritius companies, plus shareholder, officer and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Mauritius company register data sits with the CBRD (Corporate and Business Registration Department), confirming name, number, and status, while beneficial ownership is filed separately with the Registrar of Companies and, for licensees, the FSC. It's filed with the state but not publicly accessible, with no counterparty look-up, at a 20% threshold, lower than the 25% used before 2017 and reaffirmed by an April 2026 amendment. The Global Business Company carries its own variant: the 20% test applies to distributable profits rather than voting shares, administered by a licensed management company. CBRD search verifies name, number, and status directly; beneficial ownership itself stays closed, so verification means resolving the fund or holding layer above the GBC through a reachable jurisdiction's register instead.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you about Mauritius
Mauritius is a parliamentary democracy where Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam’s Alliance du Changement won a landslide victory in the November 2024 general election, taking 60 of 66 seats and 61.4% of the popular vote against the outgoing Jugnauth government’s 27.3%. The new government has launched a Public Sector Reform Strategy 2025-2029 and faces the task of stabilising the rupee, containing inflation and reducing the economy’s reliance on the offshore financial and real estate sectors.
The country is widely regarded as one of Africa’s stronger economic performers, built on a diversified base of financial services, tourism, manufacturing and a well-established global business sector, having exited both the FATF grey list (October 2021) and the EU’s list of high-risk third countries (early 2022) after significant anti-money-laundering reforms. A new Five-Year Strategy for the financial-services sector, launched in 2025, targets growing the sector’s gross value from $1.7 billion in 2024 to $2.5 billion by 2030, even as the government introduced new taxes on large corporates and banks in its 2025-2026 budget.
GDP growth moderated through 2025, expanding an estimated 3.2% for the full year but slowing to 2.7% year-on-year by the fourth quarter, with construction and accommodation both contracting in the first quarter before recovering; forecasts for 2026 range from about 2.5% to 3.4% across the World Bank, African Development Bank and IMF, reflecting softer external demand. Tourism remained a bright spot, with a record 1.44 million visitors in 2025, up 3.9% on the year before, led by strong growth from Indian visitors.
The most significant recent geopolitical development is the disputed status of the Chagos Archipelago: the UK and Mauritius signed a treaty in May 2025 under which the UK would transfer sovereignty of the islands to Mauritius while retaining a 99-year lease over the Diego Garcia military base, but UK ratification has since stalled, with the enabling legislation dropped from the parliamentary agenda amid objections that completing the process could breach a 1966 US-UK basing agreement — meaning sovereignty has not yet actually transferred as of late 2026.
Mauritius company base, broken down
Charts render from live counts. Where coverage is partial, the excluded population is stated on the chart.
Company size, by disclosed headcount
By number of employees on file. Entities with no disclosed headcount are not counted in any band.
Who uses Mauritius ownership data
The three checks this page's data is most often run for.
KYB onboarding
Verifying a Mauritius counterparty means confirming the beneficial owner behind the entity and evidencing where that answer came from, not just pulling the registered name.
AML and sanctions screening
Sanctions exposure often sits above the operating company, in a holding layer registered elsewhere. Screening the local entity alone will not surface it; screening the resolved ownership chain will.
Supplier and credit risk
Only 8 Mauritius entities have digitized accounts on file, so group membership is often a better solvency signal than a standalone balance sheet.
