Protected Cell Company
A Protected Cell Company (‘PCC’) is a single legal structure that can segregate its assets between different cells within the PCC. This segregation allows for assets of each cell to be deemed as completely distinct from each other and thus creditors of a particular cell have recourse only to that cell. Therefore, each cell has its own responsibilities in terms of its assets and liabilities.
The Protected Cell Companies Act 1999 (‘PCC Act’) has been amended until recently to broaden the applications of PCCs in Mauritius. Subsequently, regulations were created under section 4(3) of the said Act to cater for the possibility for a global business to be converted into a PCC.
