Editorial by the Founder

An editorial and commentary by the founder of the website offshore.sc, Karl Schnürch.

When I first set foot in the Seychelles in 2007, I came on behalf of a client. He wanted to establish an offshore company, and I was very curious to see how this could be implemented. At that time there were only about 50,000 IBCs in the Seychelles, and the infrastructure could not be compared with today's. I looked around, visited lawyers, and discussed matters with them, the local notaries, and service providers. Setting up that first offshore company took about two weeks. It was an adventure, but also a decent learning curve, not only because offshore was new to me. The whole topic of offshore and all the incorporation processes had to be set up for me for the first time, and I had to look for reliable partners.

The people of the Seychelles and their mentality were completely different from what I had imagined, in an absolutely positive sense. It was so much fun to learn new things, and the people were so open-minded and helpful. I came to the Seychelles several times during 2007 because of this, and in the end I unexpectedly fell in love with this country and with the Seychellois. Since that time I have been living in the Seychelles, and so has almost every partner and team member.

In 2008 I founded my first own offshore IBC, Domainer AG. The experience with the clients I had incorporated for in the meantime, and the processes we had set up, had inspired me. A network of professional service providers, notaries, and lawyers, which has remained almost unchanged to this day and on which I and the entire team can rely every day, also made it very easy for me.

The Website at offshore.sc

The website at offshore.sc was set up much later. The intention was to create a website that focuses on the incorporation of an IBC, specifically and only in the Seychelles, and that also provides comprehensive information on the subject of offshore online. This has not changed to this day.

Every day the website is supplemented with further topics. It is corrected and adapted, and we look for further ideas to provide visitors with even better added value in a way that is understandable in many languages. It should also be easy to set up an offshore company online, even with a smartphone, and completely transparent, so that you can read everything and make up your own mind about all the processes, the procedure before and after the order, and about the IBC laws.

The online shop system and all content are up to date, both technically and in terms of information. It is checked, updated, and monitored several times a day. All security precautions, such as secure 256-bit SSL transmission, valid certificates, and many other measures I do not want to go into here, are implemented. It is an advantage to be able to fall back, as I can, on experience as an entrepreneur and executive of several German corporations, coming from the IT scene, and with nearly 30 years of internet and marketing experience.

But you cannot do it alone. Therefore, a heartfelt and special thank you to all clients, partners, and team members behind and next to me. To all those who support me with so much heart's blood and make me think daily, also critically. Only through an intelligent, forward-thinking, and professional team, together with a solid network, do you get as far as we have, and it is still great fun after more than a decade, or rather, precisely because of it.

Our highest goal is to pass on all our knowledge to our clients transparently and fairly. Perhaps soon to you too.

Sincerely and with sunny greetings, your Karl Schnürch.

Data Protection Is a Very Important Topic

The Seychelles has a very interesting approach to this, as data protection is built into the constitution. This has enormous advantages for every founder, because the constitution prohibits by law the disclosure of any data to third parties outside the Seychelles. We strictly adhere to it.

From 1 January 2027, under Act 13 of 2026, the names and appointment dates of the current directors of every Seychelles IBC are public in the Registrar's register and appear in the certificate of official search. Shareholders and beneficial owners remain non-public. If you use our nominee director, only our nominee director is shown in the public register, while your own name does not appear.

We only file extracts of resolutions with the Registry which do not contain information on shareholders or beneficial owners. The internal registers are kept by us and are not archived online or with any authority. In most cases, we would therefore ignore any informal request and only inform you about it.

There is one exception. At the request of the Seychelles criminal authorities (FIU), we are legally obliged to provide all necessary information in the event of suspicion of criminal offences, such as the financing of terrorism, arms trading, and related international money laundering. However, the criminal authorities are equally bound to absolute secrecy. Only the courts of Seychelles can disclose private information to the public during legal proceedings.

Secure Order Process through 256-Bit SSL Encryption

Your data is very safe with us during every order. In our online shop we ask only for the first name and email address as required information for the order. No further data is stored in our online shop, in order to protect your data as well as possible. All other fields are optional and not a condition.

Of course, you will still receive an invoice with your requested information, and you can determine the invoice text yourself if you wish.

As mentioned above, all safety precautions, such as secure 256-bit SSL transmission during the order process, valid SSL certificates, and many other measures, are implemented for your absolute security in the shop and ordering system.
