Who is Fanal built for?+

Invoicing & MRA Compliance
Is Fanal MRA-compliant?+
Yes. Fanal generates MRA-compliant invoices with BRN, VAT registration number, supply type codes (TC01–TC06), gap-free sequential numbering, and all mandatory fields required by the Mauritius Revenue Authority.
Does Fanal support MRA e-invoicing?+
Fanal is built around the MRA e-invoicing framework. When the e-invoicing threshold reaches your business, your invoice structure is already compliant and ready for fiscalisation through the Invoice Fiscalisation Platform.
What invoice fields are included?+
Every invoice includes supplier name and BRN, customer details, description of goods/services, unit prices, quantities, VAT rate, total amount, payment method, sequential invoice number, and the date and time of issue — all mandatory under the VAT Act.
Can I create quotes and convert them to invoices?+
Yes. Create professional quotes in under two minutes, send them as polished PDFs, and let customers approve with a single tap. Approved quotes convert to MRA-compliant invoices with one click — no copy and paste.
What supply type codes does Fanal use?+
Fanal supports all MRA supply type codes: TC01 (taxable supplies at 15% VAT), TC02 (zero-rated exports), TC03 (exempt supplies), TC04 (non-fiscal items), TC05 (standard rated to exempt bodies), and TC06 (supplies outside scope of VAT).
Payments & Cash Flow
Does Fanal track payments?+
Yes. Mark invoices as paid, flag overdue payments, and see what is owed at a glance. Fanal supports cash, bank transfer, MCB Juice, MyT, and cheque payment methods.
Can I see a cash-flow forecast?+
Yes. The Pro plan includes a 30-day cash-flow forecast based on your invoiced amounts, payment history, and outstanding balances — so you always know what is coming in.
Does Fanal send payment reminders?+
Fanal flags overdue invoices and lets you see which clients owe you money. Email-based automated reminders are on the product roadmap.
Dashboard & Reports
Does Fanal include a dashboard?+
Yes. The Pro plan includes a real-time dashboard showing monthly revenue, top owing clients, 30-day cash forecast, and VAT due — so you always know where your business stands.
What reports can I generate?+
Fanal provides monthly KPIs, revenue summaries, expense breakdowns, client aging reports, and VAT calculations. All reports are viewable on your phone or exportable.
