Seychelles — Legal Framework for Registered Agents
A Seychelles registered agent is a corporate service provider licensed by the Financial Services Authority to represent companies. The International Business Companies Act 2016 makes agent appointment a non-negotiable requirement for every Seychelles company.
Statutory Obligation
The International Business Companies Act 2016 requires every Seychelles company to appoint and continuously maintain a registered agent licensed by the FSA.
AML and UBO Requirements
Agents must comply with Seychelles anti-money laundering rules and maintain a register of ultimate beneficial owners under the Beneficial Ownership Act 2020.
Professional Standards
Licensed agents are held accountable by the FSA and must operate in accordance with international corporate service standards and local regulations.
Accounting and Record Obligations
The agent ensures accounting records are submitted bi-annually to the registered office and that all corporate documents remain current and accessible.
