Registered Office in Seychelles — Essential for Every IBC
The International Business Companies Act of Seychelles mandates that each IBC hold a registered office at a physical location within the country. Neglecting this requirement can attract fines and put your company's registration at risk. Establish a compliant Seychelles address and avoid unnecessary regulatory exposure.
Managed Without Interruption
Why Every Seychelles IBC Needs a Registered Office
The International Business Companies Act of Seychelles requires each IBC to maintain a registered office at a physical location in the country. This address is the official delivery point for legal process, government notices, and regulatory correspondence.
Legal Process Delivery
All court documents, statutory demands, and formal notices served on your IBC are directed to the registered office address.
Company Registry Record
Your registered office is recorded with the Seychelles Financial Services Authority as the official address, keeping personal details off public filings.
Regulatory Standing
Seychelles law requires an active registered office to be maintained continuously. Failing to do so risks fines and may threaten your IBC's registration.
Jurisdictional Credibility
A Seychelles office address provides the in-country footprint that banks and counterparties look for when conducting due diligence on your company.
Seychelles Legal Framework for IBC Registered Offices
The International Business Companies Act of Seychelles obliges each IBC to maintain a registered office at a physical address in the country. This location is the statutory point for receiving legal process, regulatory correspondence, and communications from the Financial Services Authority.
Obligation From Formation
Every IBC incorporated in Seychelles must have a registered office in place from the date of formation. The requirement runs continuously and cannot be suspended or waived.
Genuine Physical Address
Seychelles law demands that the registered office be a real, physical location within the country. PO boxes, virtual addresses, and offshore mail services are not acceptable.
Notifying the Authority
Any relocation of the registered office must be formally reported to the Seychelles Financial Services Authority. The change is only effective once the Authority updates its records.
Risks of Non-Compliance
An IBC operating without a valid registered office may be subject to fines under the Act. Continued non-compliance can lead to enforcement action and potential removal from the IBC register.
