Bank account for E-commerce/SME

My husband and I have a small e-commerce business (Amazon FBA), and we are planning to relocate everything from Austria to Mauritius. I am a citizen and would hold 51% of the shares.


Since trading goods often requires short-term liquidity to make large purchases, I am now wondering which bank in Mauritius would be suitable for this purpose. In the USA, Germany, UK, and other countries, there are specialized trade finance companies for Amazon FBA, but once we have the company in Mauritius, they are not an option. Has anyone had experience with short-term financing of goods, such as 3-6 months, with a bank and can recommend one?


Or just a bank that is SME-friendly?


Thanks in advance
