Why offshore

Offshore business, fully legal and with many extras

The Seychelles offer company founders many advantages when setting up an offshore company, among them maximum discretion and a consistent zero tax policy.

With the International Business Companies Act of 1994 and its renewal in 2016, the offshore sector of the Seychelles has become a highly attractive jurisdiction. The Seychelles present their independence and their own legal system convincingly to entrepreneurs from all over the world.

Modern offshore companies, limited liability and no future hassle

Today a Seychelles offshore company is no longer formed for tax reasons alone. Discretion and a better liability structure matter just as much. A flexible company lets you sleep better and widens your options to position yourself internationally: appear more global and act faster. Your partners will see that you have modernised your company, possibly with real substance behind it.

Who uses a Seychelles offshore company

Our clients include digital nomads looking for the best way to run an independent business, and owners of licences, patents and assets. Crypto marketing, SEO and service providers, licensees, e-commerce and dropshipping, consultants, expatriates, succession planning and intellectual property are just a few examples of how a Seychelles IBC can be used legally.

No data to third parties

Your data is safe with us. We do not keep relevant data in our online and ordering system, we store documents outside the system after the formation and we never pass data to third parties. We talk to you by encrypted messenger or chat, and every e-mail is signed. On request we add a nominee director.

Questions

Good to know

How long does the formation of a Seychelles IBC take?

The company is registered 24 to 48 hours after your payment, as soon as your documents are complete. The company documents and the apostille follow within another 48 to 96 hours.

What do you need from me?

For every director and shareholder a passport copy and a proof of address, in English or with a translation. Certified copies must not be older than three months. We also need an e-mail address, a phone number and a service address. Our assistant checks your documents before anything is filed.

Are directors and shareholders public?

No. Directors and shareholders of a Seychelles IBC are not shown in a public register or on any certificate of the Registrar.

What happens every year?

Every IBC has to renew its annual licence with the Registrar and its registered agent and registered office service. We remind you several times ahead of the anniversary, ask for updated documents if the law requires them and prepare everything that has to be signed.

Can I move my existing IBC?

Yes, with a change of registered agent. We arrange the transfer for you. It usually takes 5 to 10 working days.
