Registration step by step
You can apply for RCCI membership either as an individual – especially if you don't yet have a Business Registration Number (BRN) or wish to personally support the Chamber's initiatives – or as a representative of a business entity you own, manage, or represent.
Registration for Personal Membership
Registration for corporate membership
Becoming a member of RCCI is easy and is completed in three straightforward registration steps explained below:
Registration for corporate membership
Step 1 – Personal details
The first step applies to both personal and corporate memberships. Please provide your title, first name, last name, email address, and mobile number.
To complete the first step you select whether you apply for personal or for corporate membership. The input required for the next page will depend on your selection. Here you have chosen “Corporate membership”.
Step 2 – Corporate details
In this step, corporate applicants must provide the business name, position held, and industry sector. Please also provide your business address in Rodrigues, your head office address (if different) and your postal address (if different).
Your BRN, VAT No., turnover and the number of employees in Rodrigues will complete your corporate details. Your website URL and Facebook ID will help us to make you known to other members and the public. Here is a summary of the fields you need to fill in this step of the registration process:
Corporate name | Name of the business as per BRN card |
Your position | Your role in the business structure |
Business sector | Industry sector of the business |
Rodrigues office address | Physical office location in Rodrigues |
Head office address | If different from Rodrigues office address |
Postal address | If different from office address |
BRN | Business Registration Number |
VAT | VAT Registration Number |
Turnover | Average turnover for the past five years |
Number of employees | Average number of employees in the last five years |
Website | Business website URL |
Business Facebook page ID | |
Business LinkedIn profile |
Step 3 – Dues and commitments
In the final step, you will determine the criteria for calculating your membership dues and affirm your commitment to RCCI's values and mission.
The fee structure of corporate membership is composed of a monthly membership fee, an initial entrance fee, or an optional one-time support membership fee in lieu of the entrance fee. See the tables below.
Membership fees vary based on the business’s age and place of incorporation. Mauritian companies operating in Rodrigues pay slightly higher monthly and entrance fees than Rodriguan-registered businesses. Additionally, older businesses pay slightly higher fees than younger ones. Consequently, you are requested to specify the year and place of incorporation of your business.
Monthly fees are payable for a minimum of six months. Opting for annual payment qualifies you for a 5% early payment discount.
A start-up and mentorship discount of 50% of the first year’s fees applies if at the time of this RCCI membership application, your business is less than one year old and you have submitted a start-up support or a mentorship application. Learn more about RCCI’s start-up support and mentorship programs.
For businesses incorporated in Rodrigues:
Category | Years in operation | Monthly Fee (MUR) | Entrance Fee (MUR) |
Rodriguan corporation Cat 1 | 1 to 3 years | 1,000 | 2,500 |
Rodriguan corporation Cat 2 | 4 to 7 years | 1,500 | 3,500 |

For businesses operating in Rodrigues but incorporated in Mauritius:
Category | Monthly Fee (MUR) | Entrance Fee (MUR) |

Support contributions allow you to make a special one-time donation in lieu of the entrance fee and obtain a special status recognising your support and commitment to the RCCI.
