SIBA resources
The SIBA website provides quite a complete library of Seychelles legislative acts regulating offshore financial services as well as a list of Licensed Corporate Services Provioders (CSP). Currently, there are 36 corporate Services Providers listed there, inluding also such offshore professionals known worldwide as Ocra (Seychelles), Fidelity (Seychelles), Mossack Fonseca and others.
Another important resource provided by SIBA website is various application forms and guides needed for undertaking offshore business in the Seychelles. For example, Guide to become a Corporate Services Provider in Seychelles, CSP Application form, Guide to Compliance for CSP, Application Guidelines for Special License Company (CSL), CSL - Application Form as well as various application forms for International Trade Zone business and ship and yacht registration.
For the first acquaintance with Seychelles offshore services, there is a good description about the key offshore services: International Business Companies (IBC), Mutual Funds, Offshore Banking, Offshore Insurance, International Trusts and Ship Registration.
As regards the latest updates on Double Taxation treaties, Budget Speech and latest news for whole offshore jurisdiction – sometimes this information is outdated (for example, currently the latest news are avaialble for the first half of 2006), but anyway, comparing with other Seychelles resources providing offshore business information, SIBA provides far away the most detailed and most up-to-date information about Seychelles offshore financial services.
