Process
Your Seychelles Company Formation Journey Simplified
We guide you through each phase with complete transparency—you'll always understand where you stand, what comes next, and exactly what's needed from you.
01
Let us learn about you and your business
Same Day
A well-structured Seychelles incorporation starts with a thorough understanding of your aspirations. Describe your commercial objectives, the activities you intend to pursue, your ownership preferences, and any specialized requirements.
We avoid cookie-cutter solutions. Instead, we invest time learning about the individuals involved, your timeline considerations, and precisely what you aim to accomplish with your Seychelles IBC. This allows us to provide guidance that truly fits.
Use this opportunity to pose questions, seek clarification, and fully understand the journey ahead—including clear, upfront pricing with no hidden charges. By the conclusion, you'll feel assured and ready to move forward.
02
Help us perform KYC and due diligence
1-3 Days
Once your needs are clear, we'll outline the documentation required from you and all participants. After invoice processing, our compliance team initiates the legally required background verification to ensure your company satisfies Seychelles regulatory standards.
This phase typically involves iterative communication—requests for clarification or additional materials. It may feel demanding, but we're beside you at every step, explaining why each item matters.
The duration of this stage hinges on how swiftly you can supply complete, accurate information. Faster submissions mean faster progress. Rest assured, we'll keep you apprised of developments continuously.
03
Paperwork, signatures, and application
2-3 Days
With compliance clearance secured, document preparation begins. Our team crafts all necessary incorporation papers tailored to your particular situation—you won't need to interpret intricate legal language on your own.
Once prepared, we'll deliver the documents for your execution along with precise signing instructions. We've designed this to be as uncomplicated as possible.
Upon receiving your executed documents, we submit your application to the Seychelles Financial Services Authority. Your filing is tracked until approval, with updates provided throughout. The awaited news is imminent!
04
Good News: Happy Incorporation!
Day 4-5
Wonderful news! Your application has been approved—your Seychelles company is officially registered!
Upon receiving confirmation, we immediately transmit digital copies of your corporate documentation for prompt use. Included are your Certificate of Incorporation, Memorandum and Articles of Association, and all other formal company records.
Original hard copies will follow by courier at a later date. For now, you have everything required to advance your plans—whether establishing banking relationships, signing contracts, or commencing business activities. Well done on this achievement!
05
Wait! There's more post incorporation
Day 5+
Incorporation is complete, yet a few post-registration formalities ensure your file is thoroughly wrapped up. We'll share supplementary documents needing your signature to finalize your corporate records with full compliance.
These are customary procedures keeping your company documentation current and in proper standing. We'll clarify what each document accomplishes as we proceed.
If you've arranged for additional services such as bank account facilitation, our dedicated team will reach out shortly to commence that work. Our relationship extends beyond formation—we're here to support your Seychelles company's continued compliance and success.
