Seychelles

Seychelles manages one of the fastest growing International Business Companies register in the world with company incorporation in Seychelles. Seychelles is a popular jurisdiction for a company formation in that foreign companies incorporated there are exempt from audited statements, annual filing, reporting and accounting. Information about shareholders, beneficial owners and directors is not accessible to the public and thus there is a high level of confidentiality, privacy and anonymity. Seychelles is also a popular destination for online-based companies that are looking for a fast and low-cost option when deciding on a jurisdiction.
