Seychelles is an independent republic that belongs to the British Commonwealth. Seychelles is made up of a group of islands found in the Indian Ocean, with its largest island being Mahé and it’s capital at Victoria. Although English is the primary language used for business matters, other official languages of Seychelles are French and Creole. With a very stable government and attractive tax conditions, Seychelles is one of the best places to begin an offshore business.

Opportunity in Seychelles: Form a Special License Company (CSL) to extend the range of activities of your company to the financial field
Special License Companies (CSL) are formed under the Companies (Special License) Act, 2003 (the Act). Unlike the IBC, a CSL may carry on permitted business in or out of Seychelles. The CSL entity is a Seychelles domestic company (under the Companies Act 1972), which is granted a special license under the Act. This structure has the same advantages as the IBC, but it also includes a special licence giving you the opportunity to manage financial activities. Such licence can be quite expensive in other jurisdictions.
