Since 2017, the MIFC has launched its own regulatory framework for Peer-to-Peer (“P2P”) lending also known as crowdfunding which enables a person to lend funds through an online portal or electronic platform matching lenders and borrowers.
By virtue of having its activities being carried out substantially out of Mauritius, the P2P operator would also be required to apply for a Global Business Company (“GBC”) license in Mauritius.
