Family Office Licence
Family Office Licence
To further position Mauritius as a leading centre for wealth and succession planning, the Family Office Licence was introduced under the Financial Services Act 2007. This regime enables high-net-worth families to centralise and professionally manage their global assets and affairs through a regulated structure.
The Financial Services Commission (FSC) may license:
- Single Family Office – serving the affairs of one family
- Multiple Family Office – serving more than one unrelated family
- Overseas Family Office (Single/Multiple) – for offices managed from abroad with qualifying ties to Mauritius
