Incorporate and open a bank account in Seychelles

steps to register a company in Seychelles

Step 1:Select company name & company types

Every company in Seychelles is required to be registered under an accepted name and as an entity type recognized by the law. Typically, there are universal guidelines to choosing a name for your business: availability, appropriateness and uniqueness. As for choosing an entity type, it's best to go with the one that suits business needs to the most.

Step 2:Submit application

You will need to ascertain information on the directors, shareholders, or other key personnels, in prelude to submitting them along with your chosen company name to relevant authorities.

Step 3:Apply for business license

By law, all companies must obtain a business license as either as a sole trader or a registered business. Depending on the nature of your business, additional vetting by industry-specific inspectors and consulting agencies may become a prerequisite before your application is approved.

Step 4:Open a bank account

The final step before your company can get off the ground is to open a bank account. Neobanks like Airwallex and Payoneer can speed up the process exponentially with their cloud-based solutions. For a more robust option, you'll be glad to know that opening a traditional bank account in Seychelles requires no signatory travel.

Step 5:Stay compliant

As Seychelles is known for its highly business-friendly envinronment , you'll find that staying compliant is a lot less stringent compared to most places. IBCs here are only required to keep accounting records which can be kept anywhere and denominated in any currency. However, doing business locally still requires you to notify Registry beforehand, upon which makes your business liable for any previously mentioned reporting obligations.
