We at Proform Offshore believe that the Seychelles offers the best all-round jurisdiction in which to incorporate a company. It provides a stable jurisdiction away from the prying eyes and influence of the EU and the US, along with fast incorporation and some of the lowest fees in the offshore world.

Proform Offshore can incorporate offshore companies in the Seychelles, either formed to order with your choice of name or we can supply from a list of ready formed companies. Full services available including nominee director/shareholder, registered office and agent and all government fees.

Location
The Seychelles are a group of islands located in the Indian Ocean. The largest island is Mahé which contains the capital, Victoria.

Government
Seychelles is an independent republic within the British Commonwealth. The official languages are English, French and Creole although English is the main language for business. Company law is based on English Common Law and French Civil Law.

Main type of Company
International Business Companies (IBC) are incorporated under the International Business Companies Act 1994.

Trusts
We can assist with setting up Seychelles International Trusts, which may be used to hold the shares in a Seychelles IBC to give added security and confidentiality. These are irrevocable discretionary trusts, which are passive / non-trading. To find out more please email us.

Taxation /Accounts
The IBC is exempted from local taxation (except payment of the annual duty which is included in our fees). Accounts neither need to be audited nor filed with any government offices.

No Outside Interference
Seychelles is very independent and has no economic ties with the US, EU, UK or Australia and it has not signed (nor is it under any pressure to sign) any information sharing agreements with the US, EU, UK or the Australian Internal Revenue Services.
