Your Journey With Aurevya
From First Conversation
to Fully Operational Structure
We believe transparency builds trust. Here is exactly what happens when you engage Aurevya — every stage, every timeline, every document — so you can commit with complete confidence.
Step by Step
The Aurevya Process
Eight stages. Clear ownership at every point. Realistic timelines drawn from hundreds of completed engagements.
Phase 1 — Discovery
Initial Consultation
Day 1A 45-minute conversation with a senior Aurevya adviser. We ask about your goals, existing structures, tax residency, and timeline. You ask us anything. No sales pressure, no jargon — just an honest assessment of whether we are the right fit for each other.
Phase 1 — Discovery
Bespoke Proposal
Days 2–7We design the optimal structure for your situation — identifying the right vehicle type, licence category, treaty pathways, and substance requirements. This is bespoke work, not a template. Our proposal includes a structure diagram, cost summary, and a projected timeline to operational status.
Phase 2 — Engagement
Engagement & KYC Onboarding
Week 2Engagement letter signed. KYC and AML documentation collected, verified, and processed. Your dedicated Client Relationship Manager is assigned. We manage the entire compliance intake — you submit once; we handle the rest across all regulatory interfaces.
Phase 3 — Incorporation
Entity Incorporation
Weeks 3–8Entity formation with the Mauritius Registrar of Companies (or DIFC/ADGM Registrar), registration with the FSC as a Category 1 Global Business Company (or relevant licence category), appointment of registered office, and preparation of all constitutional documents.
Phase 4 — Licensing Where Applicable
Regulatory Licence Application
Months 2–6For regulated activities — CIS Manager, Investment Adviser, VASP (Class M/O/I/R/S), Investment Dealer, Payment Intermediary, DIFC Category licence, or ADGM Financial Services Permission — we prepare and submit a complete licence application. We anticipate regulator queries before they are raised.
Phase 5 — Banking
Banking & Treasury Setup
Weeks 6–20Bank account introductions at Tier 1 Mauritius banks (Absa Bank Mauritius, SBM Bank, MCB Group), UAE institutions, or international correspondent banks. We prepare your banking presentation, manage the relationship introduction, and support KYC submissions to the bank.
Phase 6 — Go-Live
Operational Go-Live
Month 3–6Your structure is incorporated, licensed (where applicable), and banked. We establish your governance framework — board meeting calendar, compliance timetable, regulatory reporting schedule, and annual filing calendar — so nothing falls through the cracks in Year 1.
Phase 7 — Ongoing Partnership
Annual Governance & Advisory
Ongoing — Annual CycleWe are not a transactional firm. Most of our client relationships are measured in years, not engagements. Our ongoing retainer covers annual statutory filings, FSC annual report submissions, board meeting secretarial services, annual substance certification, and proactive advisory on regulatory changes affecting your structure.
Honest Answers
Questions We Always Get Asked
We would rather answer these now than have you wonder.
Can you guarantee my bank account will be opened?
No — and any adviser who does is misleading you. What we offer is a well-prepared application introduced through established banking relationships, with every query answered promptly. Our approval rate for well-structured entities is high, but banking decisions ultimately rest with the bank.
What if the FSC takes longer than projected?
Regulatory timelines are outside any adviser's direct control. We set realistic expectations from the outset and manage all regulator interaction actively. If queries arise, we respond within 24–48 hours. We do not sit on correspondence.
What documentation do I really need to provide?
For most structures: certified passport, certified proof of address (within 3 months), source of funds declaration, and corporate ownership chart if you are structuring through an existing entity. Regulated licences require more — your CRM will provide a full checklist at engagement.
Do I need to travel to Mauritius or Dubai?
For most structures, no. Incorporation, FSC registration, and many banking introductions can be completed remotely. Some banks and certain DIFC/ADGM procedures may require an in-person visit. We will tell you at proposal stage if your structure requires travel.
What happens if my circumstances change mid-process?
Structures evolve, and we understand that. If your objectives change significantly during the engagement, we reassess and advise. Amendments to structure design in the early phases are typically accommodated without penalty. Significant changes post-incorporation may involve additional filings.
Is Mauritius still a credible jurisdiction after FATF scrutiny?
Yes. Mauritius was removed from the FATF grey list in October 2021 following a comprehensive remediation programme. Its regulatory posture has since strengthened considerably, which is broadly positive for legitimate structures — increased credibility means better banking access and treaty counterparty acceptance.
Preparation
Documents You Will Need
A general checklist. Your Client Relationship Manager will provide a bespoke list tailored to your specific structure at the engagement stage.
