In this Guide, you’ll learn how to:

  • Attract and legally engage local or international talent in Mauritius
  • Expand into new markets without setting up local entities

Why Mauritius?

Mauritius offers a strategic base for international growth—with access to skilled professionals, regional markets, and a stable, business-friendly environment. Best of all, you can build your team without setting up a local company.

The key to success? The right people on the ground.

Whether you’re hiring local professionals or relocating trusted team members from abroad, having a presence in-country enables faster execution, stronger market understanding, and more operational flexibility. From IT and operations to support and commercial roles, building your team in Mauritius opens up new possibilities.

But going global comes with complications.

Hiring abroad involves employment laws, tax compliance, visa sponsorship, payroll, and more—before your new hire can even get started.

How to Expand into Mauritius without Setting Up a Local Entity

Once you’ve identified Mauritius as a target market, hiring people locally or relocating employees may be your next step. But setting up a legal entity takes time — often around 3 months — and carries ongoing administrative and financial overheads. Exiting the market can be even more complex.

That’s why many companies choose a faster route.

With Acumen International as your Global Employer of Record (EOR), you can hire local professionals and sponsor visas for expatriate employees—all without establishing a company in Mauritius.

We handle:

  • Local HR administration and compliant payroll
  • Work permits and visa sponsorship for expatriates
  • Payment of allowances, benefits, and approved expenses
  • Full compliance with local labour laws and tax regulations

You remain the operational employer — deciding compensation, tasks, projects, and team structure. We act as the legal employer, handling all the admin and compliance requirements.
