Main Characteristics and the basic rules of Company registration in Seychelles.

Business expansion ideas are harbored by many business owners but selecting an apt destination may not be easy. If you are looking for an offbeat but viable country for business expansion, Seychelles can be a good choice. The Republic of Seychelles, situated in the western side of Indian Ocean has 155 islands and the population is also small. However, this can be ideal when you do not want to spend a lot of amount in offshore venture expansion. You may feel interested in setting up venture in the country but for that you should try our Seychelles Company Formation services.

The independence from Britain obtained in 1976 enabled Seychelles to grow as a viable tourist destination and the business prospects have also grown manifold since that time. English is among the official languages and the country has stable government- factors that are ideal for business expansion.

A number of companies hailing from various nearby and distant countries have started operating in Seychelles in the last decade. A majority of these deal with financial services and tourism, as it is. However, with time companies belonging to several other niches are also making it their operations hub. The 1994 International Business Companies Act has paved the way for influx of foreign companies into the country. These may sound good but for starting venture here you will benefit by seeking our Seychelles Company Formation services.

The main reason for interest of foreign companies starting operations in Seychelles is low start up cost. The company incorporation process in the country does not take much time either- which is also ideal for investors from other countries. The privacy of a venture set up in Seychelles is not compromised as it has no ties with the USA or EU. However, the biggest benefit is that a Seychelles company share sale or transfer does not attract tax.

Infrastructure and logistics wise, Seychelles scores very well. It has an international airport and the telecommunications network is on par with major European countries. You can access high speed internet service here without disruptions.  This should be ideal for business expansion. The banking sector is solid and political disruption prospects are minimal.

While setting up business in the country may not be too hard, you will still benefit by seeking services of expert agencies like us. The BRIS group offers Seychelles Company Formation services for investors. Call us today for more information.
