What our Seychelles company report includes
Our Seychelles reports draw on sources including the FSA register, the Seychelles Revenue Commission, the Central Bank for regulated entities, and the Supreme Court; fees may apply for certain records. In Seychelles, the FSA is the registrar for international entities (IBCs and similar), while domestic companies are registered with the separate Registrar of Companies; for IBCs, registers of directors and shareholders are kept at the registered office and are not open to public inspection, so public ownership data is limited. Coverage of any individual source depends on what the subject company has filed and what is publicly accessible at the time of the search. English-language filings are presented directly.

Note on Seychellois data: Seychelles' IBC regime, historically one of the largest offshore jurisdictions globally by company count, was reformed substantially from 2018 with substance requirements for entities benefiting from preferential treatment. Verification approach depends on whether the counterparty is a substantive operating company or an IBC-sector entity.
Why verify a Seychellois company?
Seychelles' offshore corporate-services sector underwent substantial reform from 2018, with the IBC regime now requiring economic substance for relevant activities. Verification approach depends on the counterparty category: for substantive operating companies (tourism, fisheries), standard FSA register verification applies; for IBC-sector counterparties, Corporate Services Provider enquiry and substance-compliance verification are central tasks.
