Step by Step

The Aurevya Process

Eight stages. Clear ownership at every point. Realistic timelines drawn from hundreds of completed engagements.

Fase 1 — Discovery

Consulta Inicial

Day 1

A 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.

You GetAn honest view of the most appropriate structure for sus objetivos, and whether Mauritius, DIFC, ADGM or another jurisdiction best serves you.
You Need45 minutes and a clear description of your investment or business objectives.

Fase 1 — Discovery

Bespoke Proposal

Days 2–7

We 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.

You GetA written proposal with structural diagram, projected fees (setup + annual), regulatory timeline, and a clear recommendation — with alternatives considered and explained.
You NeedAny existing corporate documents, financial statements, or prior legal opinions relevant to su estructura.

Fase 2 — Engagement

Engagement & KYC Onboarding

Week 2

Engagement 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.

You GetA dedicated CRM, a secure document portal, and written confirmation that all KYC requirements are satisfied before any paid work begins.
You NeedPassport copies, certified proof of address (within 3 months), source of funds declaration, corporate ownership chart (if applicable), and signed engagement letter.

Fase 3 — Incorporation

Entity Incorporation

Weeks 3–8

Entity 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.

PlazosAuthorised Company: 1–2 semanas. Standard GBC: 3–5 semanas. DIFC/ADGM entity: 2–4 semanas (dependent on freezone authority).
You GetCertificate of Incorporation, Memorandum & Articles of Association, share register, registered office address, and initial board resolutions.
You NeedConfirmed director appointments and shareholder details. We handle all drafting and filings.

Fase 4 — Licensing Where Applicable

Regulatory Licence Application

Months 2–6

For 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.

PlazosFSC (Mauritius): 3–5 months for well-prepared applications. DFSA (DIFC): 4–6 months. FSRA (ADGM): 3–5 months. Plazo depends heavily on application completeness.
You GetComplete licence file, regulator correspondence management, fit-and-proper submissions for key personnel, and licence grant.
You NeedBusiness plan, technology/operational documentation, AML/CFT programme, CV and regulatory history for key personnel, and minimum capital in place.

Fase 5 — Banking

Banking & Treasury Setup

Weeks 6–20

Bank 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.

PlazosStraightforward GBC structures with clean ownership: 6–10 semanas. Structures with complex ownership chains or regulated activities: 12–20 semanas. Banking timelines are the most variable stage in the process.
You GetMulti-currency current accounts, online banking access, treasury documentation, and SWIFT/wire transfer capability from Day 1 of account activation.
A Realistic NoteWe cannot guarantee bank account approval — no adviser can. What we guarantee is a well-prepared application, introduced through established banking relationships, with all queries answered promptly.

Fase 6 — Go-Live

Operational Go-Live

Month 3–6

Your 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.

You GetA fully operational, FSC/DFSA/ADGM-compliant structure with active bank accounts, governance documentation, and a 12-month compliance calendar.
MilestoneThis is the moment your investment or business activity can formally commence through the structure.

Fase 7 — Ongoing Partnership

Annual Governance & Advisory

Ongoing — Annual Cycle

We 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 su estructura.

You GetA dedicated relationship manager who monitors su estructura year-round, proactively flags regulatory developments, and initiates filings before deadlines — not the day before.
Annual CycleAnnual return (Registrar), FSC annual report, audited financial statements (where required), substance declaration, board resolution for accounts, and strategic review call.

Realistic Benchmarks

Based on completed engagements. Licensed structures take longer; straightforward holding vehicles are quicker.

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 su estructura requires travel.

What happens if my circumstances change mid-process?

Structures evolve, and we understand that. If sus objetivos 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.
