Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about obtaining your Seychelles Register of Beneficial Owners
A beneficial owner is any individual who ultimately owns or controls 25% or more of the company's shares, voting rights, or other ownership interests. This includes direct ownership as well as indirect control through corporate structures, trusts, or other arrangements. The 25% threshold is the key criterion under Seychelles law.
Access is restricted to authorized parties including company directors, officers, designated representatives, and competent authorities such as law enforcement and regulatory bodies. The register is confidential and not available to the general public or unauthorized third parties.
No. While the Register of Beneficial Owners must be filed with the Seychelles Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), it is not publicly accessible. The information remains confidential and is only disclosed to competent authorities upon proper request for anti-money laundering and regulatory purposes.
The register includes the beneficial owner's full name, date of birth, nationality, residential address, nature of beneficial interest (how ownership is held), percentage of ownership or control, date of becoming a beneficial owner, and if applicable, date of ceasing beneficial ownership. All information must be accurate and current.
You typically need this register for bank account opening requirements, compliance with anti-money laundering regulations, corporate due diligence in transactions, regulatory reporting obligations, or when requested by competent authorities. Financial institutions often require beneficial ownership documentation as part of their KYC procedures.
Processing typically takes 3-5 business days. We coordinate with your Registered Agent to obtain the current register, ensure it's certified, and deliver it securely to you.
Your Registered Agent is responsible for maintaining the Register of Beneficial Owners at your company's registered office in Seychelles. The Registered Agent must also file the register with the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) and ensure it remains accurate and up-to-date as ownership changes occur.
Legal owners (shareholders on the Register of Members) are those formally registered as holding shares. Beneficial owners are the individuals who ultimately control or benefit from the company, which may be different from legal owners in cases involving nominee shareholders, trusts, or corporate structures. Seychelles law requires disclosure of both.
