A properly structured Seychelles international business company (IBC) is an ideal corporate vehicle through which international business can be conducted. The following information will help to determine whether Seychelles company formation meets your business objectives:

Advantages of Seychelles Company Formation

If properly structured, Seychelles company formation is a legitimate corporate structure which can house international tax exempt profits. Moreover, No annual audit or tax returns are required following Seychelles company formation. Thus, it is convenient and cost effective to maintain the company long term.

To complete a Seychelles company formation there are no minimum capital requirements.

Seychelles company formation allows 100% foreign ownership. A minimum of one director and one shareholder is required and corporate shareholders and directors are permitted.

There is no public register of shareholders, directors or beneficial owners with Seychelles company formation, thus preserving client confidentiality.

Following company formation in the Seychelles, Healy Consultants will open a corporate bank account in the jurisdiction of your choice. Healy Consultants works with internationally recognised banks such as HSBC, Standard Chartered and Citibank to provide corporate bank account services.

Disadvantages of Seychelles Company Formation

Seychelles company formation may be perceived as a tax haven jurisdiction. Furthermore, the Seychelles is negatively perceived as the 54th least corrupt country in the world, according to the 2009 Corruption Perceptions Index by Transparency International, a global measure of corruption amongst public officials and politicians.

According to the 2010 Doing Business Survey by the World Bank, the Seychelles is the world's 111th easiest place to do business. The survey measures factors including business start up procedures, time, cost and minimum capital required to start a business.

Considerations for Offshore Company Formation

Offshore companies can be an ideal, tax-efficient vehicle for entrepreneurs to conduct their international business. When selecting an offshore jurisdiction, it is important to evaluate variables such as i) its international reputation for conducting business, ii) legalities that govern investor activity iii) the stability of its economy iv) the political stability of the market.

While offshore corporations can have the significant advantage of legitimately minimising tax obligations, there can also be the disadvantage of carrying the tax haven stigma associated with some jurisdictions.
