Today, youths are advised to consider entrepreneurship for their career instead of looking for a job, but many of us do not know what are the steps to be taken to start a business. The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority (SMEDA) is a parastatal body under the aegis of the Ministry of Business Enterprises and Cooperatives, which promote and develop entrepreneurship in Mauritius.
Below are 10 steps identified by SMEDA to launch your own business in Mauritius:
Step 1: Conception of project/Business idea
Project profiles are available at the SMEDA Documentation centre
Step 2: Preparation of business plan
Format of business plan is available at SMEDA
Step 3: Deciding on form of business
Sole trader/ Partnership/ Company/ Co-operative Society
Step 4: Choosing the right location
Home based business/ Rent/ Purchase/ land lease
Step 5: Registering the business
The business should be registered with:
Registrar of Businesses
c/o Registrar of Company
One Cathedral Square Building
Jules Koenig Street, Port-Louis
Tel: 211-4460 Fax: 208-7263
Email: rocd@intnet.mu
Step 6: Apply for Registration with SMEDA
Small Enterprise Certificate: Enterprise having an annual Turnover not exceeding Rs 10 M
Medium Enterprise Certificate: Enterprise having an annual Turnover of more than Rs 10 M but less than Rs 50 M.
Note: A registered enterprise with SMEDA may obtain a Building & Land Use permit (see in next step) with local authority within 3 Days after the “effective date” given to the application once the relevant officer is satisfied with all relevent documents (newspaper publications, certificate of notification, legal notice) have been submitted together with the application.
Step 7: Apply for Building and Land Use Permit (BLP) with local authority
Check with Planning Department of Municipality (urban area) or District Council (rural area) whether a Building and Land Use Permit (formerly Development permit & Building permit) is required to start your proposed business.
If YES,
- Check which guidelines would be applicable
- What is the zoning and policies applicable to your site as per provisions of the outline scheme.
Step 8: Financing the project
- Banks (Development Bank of Mauritius Ltd- DBM, Commercial banks etc.) / Leasing companies
- Venture Capital (Quasi-Equity, SME Partnership Fund Ltd)
Step 9: Implementing the project
- Pay trade fee with local authority
- Recruit people/ purchase equipment, raw materials, accessories etc.
- Install machinery, equipment and furniture/ Verify systems in place to ensure safety
Step 10: Planning and Organising Business Activity
- Procurement/ stores/ Production
- Sales/ Advertising and Marketing
- Finance/ Human Resources
- Office and Administrative Work

Thnx Nawsheen, you’re cute 😛
Hi Nawsheen,
The information provided is very useful to anyone setting up a business but more profitable to government than the starters.When you realize the time it will take for someone to make profit and a living, it may be 2 or 3 years and by the way that person need to pay all sort of fees inorder to exist and trade.
I agree with you. The procedures are very long and very often the information on the different steps to follow are not clear. This organisation ask you to go to the other one and it goes on and on. In the end there are many people who give up and are not able to go through all these steps
hi nawsheen, i wish to start a business on a land of around 2 acres for the cultivation of fatak plants for the recent diesel project. i would like to get more information regarding the project. i wish foreign investors to invest on the land. So, could u please advise me.
Thanking you.
Hello dear. Thanks for your comment. I’m afraid I don’t know much about the diesel project in Mauritius. Do you know when it was announced or by which Ministry? Maybe then I may get some additional information on the subject..

Hi….i am from india..Mumbai..and want to start a business in Mauritius…Need help..plss reply
I have just returned back to South Africa from a vacation in Mauritius . i am surprised to see that Mauritius imports meat from Austalia ( 3 times further away than South Africa ) , dairy products from France ( even further away ) which probably attributes to the high cost of certain foodstuffs . Is there any reason why South Africa is not a considered supplier for many of Mauritius food requirements . I was told that Mauritians prefer to at the higher price for foodstuffs labeled in French ? I am sure South Africa is capable of supplying products with product information and labeling in French if need be and I invite any interested parties wishing to explore this possibility to import into Mauritius from South Africa , not only food stuffs but any other products . I would be happy to partner up with a Mauritian person with this regard as I have an import export permit to send products from South Africa . I am not too fluent in French but I am learning but I am sure we will manage . Whilst there , I met with a gentleman , Thiery at Flik en Flak , who is in the ornamental wall cladding business but who imports his raw materials from America and he pays in American dollars . At the moment , it would be very advantageous for Mauritius to take advantage of the weak South African Rand and to buy from South Africa . South Africa has vast resources in agricultural , industrial and technological fields and I would like to see if business relationships can be built for the benefit of both countries . If you are in Majritius and have a product or idea that South Africa may be of assistance with , please contact me with your proposal and I will see how we can assist . My e mail is taur561@yahoo.com. Attention : Michael du Plessis

Good afternoon . My name is Dominic Anderson. I am a 23 year old ambitious African American from the United States . I would first like to say THANK YOU for all of the helpful information on developing the motherland of Africa . I really want to be a part of the process in helping change the economical standing of Africa . I am willing to help ANY country in Africa because I KNOW it will bring so many people an opportunity . I see a lot of opportunity in Mauritius . So my question is, if I brought 10,000-15000 USD over to Africa to start a business in agrifarming/food processing for exports, would that be enough capital? Realistically, what type of business would I be able to start with that amount of money?
