Why Mauritius
Appletree chose Mauritius whilst preparing for a period of rapid growth. Our choice to offshore, partially driven by cost, was heavily influenced by the stability and flexibility offered by the island as an offshore centre, coupled with a culture where customer service is paramount to its workforce. With both a positive fiscal and legal business environment, Mauritius is ideally positioned to serve businesses within Europe, Africa and APAC (Asia-Pacific) countries. Our established team, infrastructure and reduced operational costs (vs.Mainland Europe), enabled Appletree to develop and deliver new, bespoke and innovative solutions with dramatic reduced setup timescales to any potential client or partner.
