The Best Company Formation Agents in Seychelles

Updated 12 agents evaluated7 listed

A Seychelles IBC is one of the cheapest offshore companies you can buy, and that is why the market around it is thick with intermediaries. The government licence fee is a fixed, published US$150 a year. Everything above it is somebody's margin, and the published first-year price ranges from US$439 to US$1,750 for the same filing at the same registry. These are the agents ranked on what they publish, what the renewal costs, and what the number actually includes. How we rank

Rank 01

Seychelles Inc.

Best overall

Seychelles IBC formation from Victoria at one published all-in price.

Updated
Why they’re on this list
  • Publishes one all-in price, US$850 for the first year, and states the renewal at the same US$850 up front rather than leaving it to be discovered in year two
  • The only agent here whose renewal matches its first-year fee. Most of this list is cheaper to start with and more expensive to keep
  • Team at Oliaji Trade Centre in Victoria, Mahe, working one jurisdiction rather than placing the filing through a network
  • Quotes one to three business days from complete documents to incorporation
  • Covers the structures that sit around an IBC, including foundations, limited partnerships and holding structures, plus VASP, forex and securities dealer applications

Rank 02

Fidelity Corporate Services (Seychelles)

Most transparent pricing

Published fee table covering every package and its second-year renewal.

Updated
Why they’re on this list
  • Publishes a full fee table rather than a single headline number: US$770 for a custom configuration, US$940 for the basic incorporation package
  • States the second-year renewal beside each package, from US$775 on the basic package and US$2,175 on the premium one, which is the figure most agents in this market leave out
  • Based at Suite 9, Ansuya Estate, Royal Street in Victoria, so the work is done on the island rather than routed to it
  • The package tiers make the upsell visible before you commit, instead of arriving as line items after incorporation

Rank 03

Air Corporate

Best for banking help

Tiered packages with the renewal and the bank-account help priced separately.

Updated
Why they’re on this list
  • Prices three tiers in public: from US$950 to incorporate, US$1,350 for the all-inclusive package with bank account assistance and document certification, US$1,750 for the tier that handles the full bank application plus three hours of legal and tax consulting
  • States the annual renewal at US$1,650, which is higher than the entry price and is the reason to read the second year before buying the first
  • Bank account help is a priced, defined deliverable rather than a vague promise, which matters more in Seychelles than the formation itself
  • Operated by The Air Corporation Ltd from Quarry Bay, Hong Kong, so the Seychelles filing is placed rather than done in house

Rank 04

One IBC Group

The cheapest published entry price on this list.

Updated
  • Publishes formation from US$439, the lowest starting figure of any agent here and roughly three times the US$150 government fee
  • Publishes a fee page at all, which a surprising share of this market does not
  • A multi-jurisdiction platform rather than a Seychelles house, so the entry price buys the filing and little of the judgement around it
  • Read the renewal and the document set before comparing this against the US$770 to US$950 tier, because the gap narrows once certification and courier are added

Rank 05

International Corporate Agents

Victoria-based, with a published price list across a very wide network.

Updated
  • Offices at 102 Aarti Chambers, Mont Fleuri, Victoria, with a Seychelles landline rather than a forwarding number
  • Publishes a basic formation cost list spanning ninety-nine jurisdictions, so the Seychelles figure can be compared against the alternatives in one place
  • The breadth is the trade-off: a network this wide is organised around volume rather than around one registry
  • Reachable on WhatsApp and Viber on a Seychelles number, which shortens the first exchange considerably

What you are actually buying

The filing is standardised. Every agent on this page submits the same documents to the same registry and receives the same certificate, and the government takes US$150 of whatever you pay. The spread between US$439 and US$1,750 is entirely about what surrounds the filing: who answers when something goes wrong, whether the renewal was disclosed before you committed, and whether anyone will help with the bank account that the company is useless without.

That is why this list is ordered on published pricing rather than on reputation. Reputation in this market is mostly self-reported. A renewal fee printed on a public page is not.

Read the second year before you buy the first

The single most useful thing you can do is ask for the first-year total and the renewal total in the same message, before you pay anything.

Agents that lead with a low incorporation fee and will not state the renewal until year two are not necessarily overcharging, but they are choosing which number you compare on. On this page the entry prices differ by about US$1,300 while the three-year totals differ by considerably more, and the ordering changes depending on which one you look at.

Questions worth asking before you pay

Ask what the quote excludes, not what it includes. The usual omissions are the certificate of good standing, the apostille, the courier, and the ultimate beneficial owner filing.

Ask who actually files. Several agents in this market are placing the work with somebody on the island and adding a margin, which is a legitimate business but changes who you are talking to when a deadline slips.

Ask what happens if the company is struck off, and what restoration costs. It is a dull question that separates the field quickly.

Frequently asked

The government licence fee is US$150 a year and does not vary with share capital. Everything above that is the agent's margin, which is why the published first-year figures on this page run from US$439 to US$1,750 for the identical filing. Compare the first-year total and the renewal total together: the cheapest year one is frequently not the cheapest year three.
