The Seychelles is a sought-after jurisdiction for global incorporations, with a stable, yet independent, political and economic climate. Many clients use the islands as an incorporation centre, but it also offers a very attractive platform for the management and control of Seychelles companies.

With full company management and trust licenses, our Seychelles office can offer professional director services and provide a full range of management and trust services in this well-regulated, international financial centre.

Nominee Shareholders: For clients who prioritize confidentiality, we offer the option of corporate shareholders to hold shares on their behalf. This arrangement is governed by a declaration of trust, which clearly states that the beneficial owners retain all rights and interests in the shares. By using nominee shareholders, the identity of the true owners remains private, while they maintain full control and benefit from the ownership structure. This approach is ideal for those looking to protect their privacy without sacrificing their legal rights as beneficial owners.
The Seychelles has a contemporary Foundations Law that is modeled after the system used in Liechtenstein. This law is particularly attractive to legal practitioners and their clients from civil law countries due to its clear structure and flexibility. It allows for the creation of foundations that can serve various purposes, such as asset protection, estate planning, and charitable activities. Our services include not only setting up these foundations but also providing ongoing advice and councillor services to ensure they are managed in accordance with the law and the founder’s intentions. This comprehensive support helps clients navigate the legal framework smoothly and maximize the benefits of their foundation.
