doing retail business in Mauritus

Hi Pushpa,

I would suggest you visit the website of the Board of Investment where you can find all useful information about investing or starting up a business in Mauritius or you can write directly to this lady at the BOI who is very helpful.

Wishing you success with your project

hi.. thank u very much for ur info

Dear Puspha

The idea sounds great. However, I fear that you won’t qualify as an investor in Mauritius as per the criteria of the Board of Investment.

Indeed, your business should generate a turnover of at least US$ 600,000/- annually.

Unless, I am highly mistaken, it is quite unlikely that the business envisaged could generate so much income.

Still, you could think about some other, more lucrative activities if you so wish!

Cheers;)

Vayid - you are either misinformed, or just trying to scare Pushpa away!!

Required turnover is Rs600,000 NOT US$!!

Below text from the BOI website:
Self-employed      Income from the business activity should exceed MRU 600,000 annually with an initial investment of USD 35,000 or its equivalent in freely convertible foreign currency.

Britintheocean & Puspha

My sincere apologies for this oversight.

Be assured that I am not trying to scare anyone away, especially from Mauritius.

Indeed, the figure is Rs 600,000, and NOT US$ 600,000/-

Cheers

Hi Pushpa, before you start setting up may be you should come over to Mauritius and check the market first.
