The main legislation governing companies in Mauritius are:

• The Companies Act 2001
• The Financial Services Act 2007 (FSA Act 2007)
• Financial and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2002
• The Prevention of Terrorism Act 2002
• The Prevention of Corruption Act 2002
• Protected Cell Companies Act 1999

The implementations of these Acts have laid down the foundations of conduction business in a clear and transparent manner in Mauritius making it an attractive place for foreign investors.  Mauritius has even been ranked 17 out of 183 economies in 2010 Doing Business Survey (Doing Business Index 2010 – World Bank).  This has been possible mainly with the help of the legislation in force in Mauritius.
