Seychelles Company: Main Benefits
Why opt for Seychelles? This is a good question, and here are the reasons that may (or may not) persuade you to choose this jurisdiction:

● Registration cost. Seychelles offers one of the most affordable incorporation fees among other offshore jurisdictions.
● Low taxes. Would you like to pay no taxes at all in Seychelles? It’s easy to do as you will have to fulfill two conditions: your activity should not be licensed, and you should generate 100% of your profits abroad (that is, outside Seychelles).
● Confidentiality. There are no public documents in Seychelles where the names of the company directors, shareholders, or beneficial owners are listed, so you may enjoy 100% privacy! And if you want more, you can use the nominee service to remain absolutely incognito.
● Easy start. If you want to start your company with a minimum capital, you can have 1 share with a par value of USD 100 – and it’s absolutely OK!
● International compliance. Seychelles fulfills all the requirements set by international regulators.
● Registration speed. Engage a registered agent and benefit from an accelerated company incorporation procedure to start your business operations in no time! Everything will be done online, so you will not need to plan a personal visit.
● Stability. Business operates well in socially, politically, and economically stable environments, and Seychelles is high on this scale.
● Freedom of company meetings. You can hold the meetings of shareholders in any country whatsoever.
● Free profits repatriation. You can withdraw your revenue from Seychelles to any other country at any time without facing any restrictions.
● Independence of the country. Seychelles is not dependent on any country, union, or association of countries in making important decisions. As a result, it can adopt any regulations it sees fit to make the activity of non-resident entrepreneurs more convenient and attract more foreign capital to its economy.

Company Incorporation in Seychelles: Step-By-Step Procedure

Company Name
Come up with a few alternatives as the company name should be unique to be successfully registered (we will check whether the option you like best is available using the Seychelles Financial Services Authority Company search).

Make sure your name clearly reflects your business operations and will be still suitable if your company expands to some other spheres. As you probably know your target audience very well, choose a name that resonates with its representatives.

Use an approved corporate suffix at the end of the company name: Limited, Incorporated, corporation, or short versions like LTD, Inc., or Corp.

Apply for Company Registration
This is a straightforward procedure for a specialist, but it may be challenging for a novice. Get in touch with our expert if you hate the idea of being turned down due to a minor mistake in the application.

Local Representation
Here are the mandatory conditions to be taken care of before the company can be set up:

● You will need a registered agent who will deal with your case (the local authorities do not work with individuals directly)
● Acquire a legal address in the Seychelles
● Appoint a local director to run your company

Sounds difficult? We will help you easily overcome these administrative hurdles!

Package of Documents
This is a very important stage as mistakes in documents are the most common reason for refusal. We will thoroughly check all the forms before submission to minimize the negative outcome.

The corporate documents have to be signed by the customer personally or by proxy.

Getting the Approval
You sign the documents, and they are submitted to the Seychelles authorities. The approval is usually granted without delay if everything is in order, and your company will be incorporated within no more than 5 working days.

After that, all the corporate documents are sent to the address of your residence.

Opening a Corporate Bank Account
We help our customers choose the best jurisdiction and bank to cater to their financial needs free of charge. Some of you will benefit most from opening an account in Seychelles, while others need another jurisdiction to streamline their financial operations. For example, you may need a crypto-friendly bank, which considerably limits the choice.

Registration with Tax Authorities
Your Seychelles company will need a tax identification number, so we will register it with the Seychelles Revenue Commission to get one.
