What is a Seychelles IBC?
A Seychelles International Business Company (IBC) is the country's most widely used offshore vehicle, governed by the International Business Companies Act 2016 and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA). It's a private company built for business done outside Seychelles - trading internationally, holding assets or shares, owning intellectual property, or running an online operation. One person can own and run it, foreign ownership is 100% permitted, and there's no minimum paid-up capital. Once your documents pass KYC, the company is usually registered within one to three business days.
Why form a Seychelles IBC?
No tax on foreign income - Seychelles uses a territorial tax system, so an IBC pays no Seychelles tax on income earned outside the country.
100% foreign ownership - no local shareholder or director is required.
Fast, low-cost setup - US$850 all-in for year one, registered in days rather than weeks.
Privacy by default - directors, shareholders and beneficial owners are not on any public register.
Lean structure - one person can be both sole director and sole shareholder, and corporate directors are allowed.
No minimum capital - issue shares in any major currency, with no paid-up requirement.
Is a Seychelles IBC right for you?
Good fit:
online and e-commerce businesses
freelancers and consultants serving overseas clients
holding companies for shares or property
IP owners collecting royalties
traders and crypto holders structuring their assets
founders who want a clean international base
Not a fit: trading physically inside Seychelles (that needs a domestic company and licence), regulated activities such as banking, insurance, securities or gambling without the relevant FSA licence, or anyone hoping to sidestep tax at home - an IBC doesn't override your own country's tax-residency and reporting rules.
What You'll Need
A certified copy of each owner's and director's passport
Proof of residential address dated within the last 3 months (utility bill or bank statement)
One to three proposed company names
A short description of the intended business activity
Beneficial-owner details and source of funds (for KYC)
