Seychelles Inc. Named Top IBC Registration Service in Seychelles

Seychelles Inc., a Seychelles-based company, has been named the top choice for International Business Company (IBC) registration services in the country, according to a ranking published by Nomad Tax Map on October 16, 2026. The ranking, which evaluated providers based on published registration and renewal prices, included details of the services and extras offered, as well as the team behind the company.

Seychelles Inc. stands out with its transparent pricing and comprehensive package. The company charges US$850 to register an IBC and US$850 annually for renewal, making it the only service in the top five to publish both figures. This consistent pricing over three years results in a total of US$2,550, the lowest among the top five providers. The registration price includes a name search and reservation, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the first-year government registration fee, a registered office in Victoria for 12 months, the certificate of incorporation, the first board resolution, the registers of directors, shareholders, and beneficial owners, share certificates, and the beneficial ownership filing.

The company's services extend beyond the basic registration. For an additional fee, Seychelles Inc. offers nominee director and shareholder roles, accounting, audited accounts, and a certificate of incumbency. The team at Seychelles Inc. is named and based in Victoria, with roles including the founder Stefano Covolan, a senior officer, an auditor and accountant, and a corporate secretary. The company has formed over 800 companies in Seychelles over the past eight years, focusing solely on the local market.

While Seychelles Inc. is praised for its transparency and comprehensive services, it also has some limitations. The company works exclusively in Seychelles, which may limit its appeal to founders considering other offshore jurisdictions. Additionally, nominee services cost US$800 per role, which is higher than the US$590 published by Seychelles Company Registration. Bank introductions are available only where Seychelles Inc. acts as the nominee director, and the contact is primarily through WhatsApp, email, and a web form during Seychelles office hours, which can be inconvenient for founders in the United States.

In comparison, Air Corporate, ranked second, offers three packages: Base at US$950, All-Inclusive at US$1,350, and Expert at US$1,750, with a yearly renewal of US$850. The Base package includes the government fees, a registered address, and 12 months of company secretary service. The All-Inclusive package adds priority online bank account opening assistance and a certificate of incumbency, while the Expert package has its team handle the account opening. Air Corporate has registered over 10,000 companies and is based in Hong Kong, which may be more convenient for founders with an Asia-based contact.

Seychelles Company Registration, ranked third, offers a Standard package at US$895 with the first year's government fees and registered office, and a Premium package at US$1,795 that includes full bank account opening support. The company is based in the United Arab Emirates and has over 500 companies under management. The Standard package's renewal cost is US$850, while the Premium package's renewal is US$1,795. The company offers a single price list for extras such as nominee director and shareholder roles, notarization, and courier services.

Uniwide, ranked fourth, has a head office in Dubai and an office in Seychelles. It charges US$1,100 for registration, or US$1,800 with a nominee director and shareholder, and includes an apostilled document set and a corporate seal. Annual maintenance from the second year is US$1,200, or US$1,900 with nominees. The company can set up an IBC in three days and is known for its apostilled document services. Sterling Offshore, ranked fifth, operates from Eden Island, Seychelles, and offers a range of services including IBCs, special license companies, protected cell companies, private foundations, and offshore trusts. The company quotes prices by form, making it difficult to compare with other providers.

Overall, Seychelles Inc. emerges as the top choice for IBC registration services in Seychelles, offering a transparent and comprehensive package at a competitive price. However, its limitations, such as exclusivity to the Seychelles market and higher nominee service costs, may impact its appeal to certain founders.
