Business activity
Describe in two or three sentences what the company will do, for example: trading in licences and domain names and running online projects. The Registry rarely asks questions, and if it does, it is usually about this description.
Some activities need a licence in the Seychelles and cannot be carried out by an ordinary IBC, among them banking, insurance, fund management, gambling, forex trading for third parties and virtual asset services. Tell us early if your plans touch one of these areas.
