Country overview
About Seychelles
Seychelles is an archipelago republic in the western Indian Ocean, northeast of Madagascar. Victoria, on Mahé, is the capital. About 100,000 people live here. English, French and Seychellois Creole are official languages. The currency is the Seychelles rupee (SCR).
An International Business Company is used when a Seychelles vehicle is required for holding. Victoria is a small capital with a licensed registered-agent industry. The company is a legal entity under Seychelles law. We form it because that legal home is required, not as a merchant-account product.
Brikseka forms Seychelles IBCs. Incorporation is remote, typically one to three days, through a registered agent. No visit is required. No local director is required for a standard IBC.
We then advise on banking with the limits stated plainly. Stripe and PayPal are not available on a Seychelles company. Reputable electronic money institutions typically do not accept Seychelles IBCs. Approvals for any account are decided by the providers. Forming a company is not a residence permit.
