Meet The GHA Licence Criteria With A Clean Operating Model
We help multinational groups set up a GHA structure in Mauritius to centralise headquarters support for related entities. The licence framework is built around delivering multiple headquarters services across multiple group companies, covering areas like administration and general management, business planning and coordination, and economic or investment research and analysis.

A practical structure for multinational groups that need central coordination and repeatable support across affiliates.
Why Multinational Groups Use A GHA Licence
One licensed hub. Multiple affiliates supported.
One Hub For Group Services
Centralise HQ support like administration, planning, coordination, and group research from a single base.
Consistent Execution Across Affiliates
Standardise workflows, calendars, templates, and reporting so services run the same way across group entities.
Stronger Operating Credibility
Run those HQ services through a defined, FSC-licensed structure with clear scope and documented delivery.
Faster Regional Coordination
A central team can support multiple jurisdictions, reduce duplication, and keep group-wide priorities moving.
Key Eligibility Criteria For GHA Licence
Core requirements FSC typically expects in a GHA application.
Provide at least 3 qualifying HQ services to at least 3 related companies within the same group.
Operate from Mauritius with a functioning setup that supports real service delivery.
Put in place qualified personnel and managerial oversight to run the HQ services consistently.
Provide a business plan, group structure, service catalogue, intercompany arrangements, controls, and evidence of financial capacity.

Final requirements depend on the FSC’s review of scope, substance, and operating model.
