Registering a Seychelles Offshore Company
Seychelles offshore companies operate under the Companies Act of 1972, which regulates the three main forms of offshore companies:
• Seychelles International Business Companies (IBC’s)
• Seychelles International Trusts
• Seychelles International Trade Zone Companies
The most common form of offshore company in the Seychelles is the International Business Company (IBC), which is relatively straightforward to form and maintain.
In order to form a Seychelles IBC, Memorandum and Articles or Association for the company must be submitted to the Companies Registry along with the required fee. In addition, to register a Seychelles IBC a locally registered agent who is approved by the Seychelles authority needs to act as the registered agent for the company.
After the type of company has been decided, the necessary requirements must be satisfied in order to gain approval for the company set up. A minimum of one shareholder and one director is required by the Seychelles authorities, with their details kept away from public records, ensuring high levels of privacy.
Seychelles provides offshore entities with a tax-free status, extending to; exemption on income, profits and capital gains tax. This aspect is essential to the Seychelles in attracting investors from across all continents to establish a Seychelles company. Additionally, under the Seychelles Companies Act there is no minimum capital requirement, enabling a wide variety of individuals to form companies without having large amounts of capital available.
The process of registering a Seychelles offshore company can be complex and so it is advised to seek the assistance of a professional consultancy firm in order to complete the procedure in a professional, cost effective and timely fashion. Furthermore, it is advised to understand how the applicable company law – Companies Act 1972 – will affect the operation of your business. You can obtain reliable, up to date and accurate legal advice on how to operate your Seychelles company in compliance from a professional consultancy firm.
