Preparation of Seychelles company formation documents
Sterling’s professional team then prepares all of the necessary documents required to complete the Seychelles company formation depending on the type of company and according to requirements of each client. The basic documents relating to a Seychelles company formation include the following:
- Memorandum of Association
- Articles of Association
- Resolution appointing the directors
- First resolutions of the directors (organisational)
- Share register
- Register of directors
- Share certificates (optional)
- Declaration of Trust (where nominee shareholder services provided)
- Power of Attorney (where professional director services are requested)
Seychelles company incorporation
The next step in the Seychelles company setup process is to register the necessary company documents with the relevant Seychelles company registrar. Seychelles is a bit unique in that there are two Seychelles company registries (i.e. equivalent to UK Companies House) depending on the type of Seychelles formation. The Seychelles Financial Services Authority is the Seychelles offshore company registry (i.e. for Seychelles IBCs) and the Registrar General, Companies Division is the Seychelles company registry for all other Seychelles companies.
The following are the procedures for Seychelles company incorporation for each of the two Seychelles company registries:
