The Seychelles is known as an advantageous offshore destination which is why many investors decide to open companies here. Even so, the Seychelles has well-defined regulations and provides for specific requirements before and after registering a company. In order to avoid complications and to make sure they comply with the local laws, foreign businessmen usually request fiduciary services.

An interesting fact about the Seychelles is that the Financial Services Authority has encompassed clear rules about fiduciary services in the International Corporate Service Providers Regulations which was last amended in 2014. Our company formation agents in Seychelles can offer information on these rules.
