Seychelles

The Seychelles is a sought-after jurisdiction for global incorporations, with a stable, yet independent, political and economic climate. Many clients use the islands as an incorporation centre, but it also offers a very attractive platform for the management and control of Seychelles companies.

The Seychelles’ time zone makes it strategically convenient for both Asian and European clients, on top of its cost-effective professional services, which complete the offering. With full company management and trust licenses, our Seychelles office can offer professional director services and provide a full range of management and trust services in this well-regulated, international financial centre.
