Initially, these two categories used to be called Global Business Category 1 (GBC1) and Global Business Category 2 (GBC2). However, the Mauritian Government passed the Financial Provisions Act 2018 and changed these two categories.
The GBC1 category was changed to Global Business License (GBL), whereas the GBC2 category was abolished and replaced with the category of Authorised Companies.
A GBCL is a local resident company in Mauritius and is required to be both managed and controlled from Mauritius. An Authorized Company is considered a non-resident company in Mauritius and therefore it is a business entity that neither resides nor operates in Mauritius.
Global Business License (GBL) companies are taxed at a flat rate of 15%, just like any other Mauritian company.
Authorized Companies are not liable to tax in Mauritius.
While the company may not be liable to pay taxes, please consult with a tax/legal advisor in your country of residence, to determine your own tax liability.
Yes, you may benefit from the Double Taxation Treaties network if you form a company under the category of Global Business License (GBL) in Mauritius. However, if you form your company under the category of Authorized Company, then you are not eligible to profit from these treaties.
Generally speaking, we assist in registering Authorized Companies in Mauritius.

It is mandatory to produce financial summaries to be filed with FSC (Financial Services Commission) on an annual basis.
While registering a Global Business License (GBL) in Mauritius, it is required to have a minimum of one shareholder and two directors; both of whom reside in Mauritius and are qualified enough to exercise independence of mind and judgment.
However, If you setup your company as an Authorized Company then a minimum of one director/shareholder is required and doesn’t need to be a resident in Mauritius.
A Global Business License (GBL) must have its principal bank account in Mauritius, however, for an Authorized Company, it is not mandatory to have the bank account in Mauritius.

I was particularly well received by Christelle, the Managing Partner of the Dubai branch. GCM demonstrated great agility in their quotation process, which was crucial as I was leading a nascent structure in Dubai. The support provided during the administrative procedures for establishing my company in the UAE, along with the responsiveness of the service—especially from one of their team members, Oksana—truly reassured me and gave me confidence during a stressful period of establishing a professional presence abroad. I highly recommend GCM to any professional looking to set up in the UAE or even just to benefit from their advice.
The service renderade was proactive, engaged and well excecuted.
Service was excellent from start to finish. Anna Hochberg was always available to give advice and options and walk us through the process.
Transparent, efficient with very good communication flow. The result was a smooth and quick registration of a new company, exactly as required.
