Operating in the Republic of Mauritius


Mauritius is well known for its quality of life. The island has a well developed infrastructure and all essential services and goods are to be found. Foreign investors and professionals will find it easy to work and live in such a cosmopolitan, safe and friendly environment.

The rapid economic growth and the desire of the Government to develop the centre into a business and financial hub in the region have led to the development of quality business facilities. Modern office space is readily available on the island with a concentration in Port Louis, the financial district. Massive investments are also underway with the building of cyber cities with state-of-the-art communication in various parts of the country.

Foreign companies and professionals are encouraged to set up offices on the island to benefit from the low operational costs and quality working environment.

At Grand Baie Trust, we provide a one-stop-shop service and a variety of choices to our clients wishing to rent office space and accommodation.
