WHAT ARE THE MAIN REQUIREMENTS TO REGISTER A COMPANY IN THE SEYCHELLES?

Directors and shareholders can be either individuals or legal entities over the age of 18. A company can have just one director and one shareholder, and they can be the same person.
Registered address
The company must have a registered address in the Seychelles, which is provided by a local registered agent.
Share capital
For an International Business Company (IBC), the standard nominal share capital is typically set at $1,000, with no requirement for actual contribution. The capital requirements for other types of companies may vary depending on their business activities.
3 STEPS TO START COMPANY
Choosing the type of company
The first step is to select the type of company that best suits your business needs:
- International Business Company (IBC) – Ideal for international operations and exempt from corporate tax, provided it does not conduct business within the Seychelles.
- Local Company – Suitable for businesses operating within the Seychelles. Such companies are required to submit financial reports and comply with local tax regulations.
- Limited Liability Company (LLC) – A flexible structure that offers limited liability for members and transparent business management.
Preparation and submission of documents
To register a company, the following documents must be prepared:
- Memorandum and Articles of Association – These documents govern the company’s internal structure and operations.
- Copies of passports of directors and shareholders – Required to verify the identities of the founders and managers.

Once the documents are prepared, we will submit them to the Seychelles’ registration authority. The registration process typically takes 1–2 business days, after which the company receives a Certificate of Incorporation.
