Classic offshore in the Seychelles is a time-tested instrument

The Seychelles Islands Republic is an island nation in the East Africa, located in the middle of the Indian Ocean. The Seychelles are quite popular as an offshore jurisdiction among the businessmen. It is famous for its democratic approach to registering foreign business companies. In addition, company registration and maintenance conditions are considered to be among the most advantageous.

The Seychelles have long been considered representing classic offshore companies. At the same time, the islands:

(a) are pro-actively expanding this area;

(b) remain within the framework of compliance with the international rules, which is especially important today.

This jurisdiction maintains low taxation, up to its absence even. Company registration is easy and fast, it has flexible customization options, and corporate legislation has ample opportunities to achieve the most convenient environment for BCs.

As for the second point, it is important to note that the Seychelles are not on the blacklist which is recognized by many countries. Therefore, companies registered in the Islands should not have problems due to the dubiousness of their jurisdiction while carrying out their activities. This is evidenced by the experience of many successfully functioning foreign BCs in the Seychelles.

It is true that in order to maintain such a positive balance we had to make concessions. In particular, this affected the register of company beneficiaries and directors.

Now a similar register exists in the Islands, but customer privacy is still at a very high level. Thus, the register is not public and is not publicly available. The data is stored by the agent (register). Legislation of the Seychelles strictly stipulates the cases when such data can be provided to the third parties. Specifically, this applies to the cases when an investigation is underway regarding a company (or its owner).

The following data are included in the beneficiary register: Full name, date of birth, nationality and share in the company.

It is important to understand that your data cannot be disclosed or accidentally made public. No fishing transactions on this data are allowed. Information on the BC officials in the Seychelles is still protected and strictly confidential.

Conditions and formalities in the Seychelles

Let’s look at some of the conditions for opening a BC company in the Seychelles:
