Seychelles continues to thrive as a popular jurisdiction for offshore company registration growing from its roots in the 1980s. However, large volumes of companies have only recently started being incorporated each year which ensures a larger selection of available names for your prospective company, along with the assurance of competitive pricing. Seychelles offshore company registration should be easy as long as your purpose is legitimate, proposed activities are legal and you have the right documents. Here are some tips to help you get started:
Prepare to provide important “Know Your Client” documents and supporting information – to begin the process of registering an offshore company in Seychelles, you will need to provide supporting documents to prove your identity, nationality, date of birth and residential address at the least. Depending on the purpose of the company you may also have to provide information on your source of wealth and source of the assets intended to be transferred to the company.
• Be sure to register with the right registrar – There are designated registrars for the type of Seychelles offshore company you want. Seychelles IBCs are registered with the Financial Services Authority, and all other types of companies are registered with the Registrar General, Companies Division.
• Hire a competent professional services firm – Look up a Seychelles offshore company registration and formation specialist that is regulated by the Financial Services Authority. Further review the qualifications and profile of the firms as there are some “cheap” firms who can print basic documents and incorporate a company, but will have limited capabilities to do anything else. That way, you can trust a professional to assess your objectives for setting up an offshore company in Seychelles. Choose an offshore company formation service provider that is knowledgeable and experienced in Seychelles, so they can guide you through the local regulatory requirements and the laws. They can assist you in preparing all the necessary documents for company formation and they will be qualified to handle any issues in your behalf.
• Consider an all-around offshore company formation service provider – Look for a professional who can provide all the other services you will need to maintain your offshore company in Seychelles. Remember that an IBC must have a registered agent, and other companies must have a company secretary at a minimum. The offshore company formation specialist should be able to help you open an offshore bank account and provide other services like professional directors, nominee shareholder and accounting services, too.
