Mauritius PCC

Mauritius PCC
Protected Cell Companies (“PCCs”) were introduced in Mauritius by the Protected Cell Companies Act No. 137 of 1999. Initially thought to be a suitable structure for the business of insurance, it was also worked out to become a versatile vehicle for collective investment funds and for asset holding in Mauritius.
A PCC is a company limited by shares which consists of a core and an indefinite number of cells which are kept legally separate from each other’s. This structure allows for the segregation of risks, assets/liabilities of different individuals and/or corporate entities under a shared structure.

Advantages

  1. PCC as part of business structure is ideal for use in umbrella funds and captive insurance structures, because the losses of one cell will not have an adverse effect on the other cells
  2. It can limit the creditor exposure, the cells are independent and the assets of a particular cell can be applied to the liabilities of that particular cell only
  3. It is cost effective compared to forming various subsidies for different businesses
