Why Seychelles IBC

An International Business Company (IBC) of Seychelles is the most versatile and flexible way of setting up a business, worldwide. Similar to other offshore countries, the Seychelles IBC is well known and popular for its international use and operational capability.

While many other overseas jurisdictions have directories of directors, shareholders. UBO and shareholders, Seychelles allows absolute anonymity through a non-public register and a constitutionally clear privacy policy. Furthermore, the free movement of companies in Seychelles in terms of exemption from any accounting obligations and also the fact that no annual audits are required goes far beyond the usual scope of offshore companies out.

Since the introduction of the Seychelles International Business Companies Act in 1994, over 200,000 companies were incorporated in Seychelles. The number of new registrations per month is more than 1000 and should: “why Seychelles?”, answer.

International Business Company (IBC) is the most common type of company in Seychelles and isused as vehicle for offshore operations. It can be structured as private company limited by shares or it can take the form of public company limited by shares.

IBCs are established under the International Business Companies Act 1994. Seychelles IBCs are known for their minimal statutory requirements, making them an attractive choice for international businesses. Some of these requirements include:

• A single director and shareholder – both can be the same entity;
• No residency or nationality restrictions for shareholders;
• No minimum capital;
• Shares can be registered in any currency;
• Meetings can be held remotely.

An advantage of this company type in Seychelles is its confidentiality. Details about the beneficial owners, directors, and shareholders of the company are not part of the public record. The only documents of a Seychelles IBC that are publicly available are the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
