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.

Begin Your Journey

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

A 45-minute call with a senior adviser on your goals, structures, and timeline. No sales pressure, no jargon.

Phase 2 · Proposal

Bespoke Proposal

We design the optimal structure: vehicle type, licence category, treaty pathways, and substance requirements, with cost and timeline.

Phase 3 · Engagement

Engagement & KYC Onboarding

Engagement letter signed, KYC/AML processed, and your dedicated Client Relationship Manager assigned. You submit once; we handle the rest.

Phase 4 · Incorporation & Licensing

Entity Incorporation

Formation with the Registrar of Companies, FSC registration, registered office, and constitutional documents.

Phase 5 · Specialised Licensing Where Applicable

Regulatory Licence Application

For CIS Manager, Investment Adviser, VASP, Investment Dealer, or Payment Intermediary, we prepare and submit your FSC application.

Phase 6 · Banking

Banking & Treasury Setup

Bank introductions at Tier 1 Mauritius or correspondent banks. We prepare your presentation and manage the relationship.

Phase 7 · Go-Live

Operational Go-Live

Incorporated, licensed, and banked. We set your governance framework: board calendar, compliance timetable, and annual filings.

Phase 8 · Ongoing Partnership

Annual Governance & Advisory

Ongoing retainer covering annual filings, FSC submissions, board secretarial services, substance certification, and proactive advisory.

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 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.
