Set Up a Seychelles Limited Partnership
We incorporate your Seychelles Limited Partnership and handle the entire registration process from start to finish. Whether you’re setting up an investment fund, joint venture, or private equity structure, we prepare the partnership documents, complete the registration, and ensure your LP is established correctly and ready to operate.
What is a Seychelles Limited Partnership?
A Seychelles Limited Partnership (LP) is a partnership vehicle governed by the Limited Partnerships Act 2003. It's made up of two types of partner: at least one general partner, who manages the business and carries unlimited liability for its debts, and one or more limited partners, who put in capital as passive investors and whose liability is capped at the amount they've committed. The partnership itself is tax-transparent - it isn't taxed as an entity, so profits and losses flow through to the partners, who are taxed wherever they're resident. Like other Seychelles structures, an LP needs a registered office in Seychelles, and it's designed for business carried on outside the country.
Why form a Seychelles Limited Partnership?
Tax transparency - the LP isn't taxed in its own right; income passes through to the partners, who account for it where they are resident.
Limited liability for investors - a limited partner's exposure is capped at the capital they contribute, as long as they stay out of day-to-day management.
Clear split of roles - general partners run the business and make decisions; limited partners supply capital and stay passive.
Built for pooled capital - the standard structure for funds, private equity, venture capital and club deals, where a manager runs the show and investors come along.
Flexible internal terms - the Limited Partnership Agreement sets out profit splits, drawdowns, distributions and governance between partners.
Fast, low-cost setup - US$850 all-in for year one, registered directly with the Registrar from our Victoria office.
Is a Seychelles Limited Partnership right for you?
Good fit:
investment funds and fund managers pooling outside capital
private equity and venture capital vehicles
joint ventures between two or more parties
club deals and co-investment structures
holding arrangements where some parties want control and others want passive exposure with capped liability
Not a fit: a single owner who just wants a simple trading company (a Seychelles IBC is usually the better tool), anyone who needs a regulated fund licence but hasn't applied for one, partners who expect zero liability across the board (the general partner always carries unlimited liability), or anyone hoping to sidestep tax at home - an LP is transparent, so the income lands on the partners' own returns.
What You'll Need
A certified copy of each partner's passport (general and limited partners)
Proof of residential address dated within the last 3 months for each partner (utility bill or bank statement)
Corporate documents for any partner that is a company, plus details of its beneficial owners
One to three proposed partnership names (the name must end in "Limited Partnership", "L.P." or "LP")
A short description of the partnership's intended business and the capital each partner will contribute
Beneficial-owner details and source of funds for every partner (for KYC)
