Legal forms

Legal form	Name	Main abbreviation	description	Category
SC_1031 (CDQ)	Company Limited by Shares and Guarantee (en)		A Company Limited by Shares and Guarantee in Seychelles is a hybrid in which some members hold shares while others give a guarantee towards debts on a winding up. It allows economic participation and membership rights to be separated within one entity. Its memorandum and articles define the rights of each class. It is used in structures where control and economic interest are deliberately split.
SC_2426 (CDQ)	International Business Company - Company Limited by Guarantee (en)	IBC (en)	An International Business Company limited by guarantee in Seychelles has members who promise a fixed amount towards debts rather than subscribing shares, within the offshore company framework. Without share capital it cannot distribute profits, which suits purpose driven and non-profit structures. It is administered through a licensed registered agent. The guarantees behind it are usually nominal.
SC_3552 (CDQ)	Protected Cell Company (en)	PCC (en)	A Protected Cell Company in Seychelles is a single legal entity divided into cells whose assets and liabilities are legally segregated from one another. Creditors of one cell cannot reach the assets of another, which allows several fund strategies or insurance programmes to share one corporate shell. It is supervised by the financial services authority. Contracts must identify the specific cell that is engaging.
SC_4481 (CDQ)	International Business Company - Limited Life Company (en)	IBC (en)	An International Business Company organised as a limited life company in Seychelles is an offshore company whose existence is limited to a fixed period defined in its constitution. The fixed life allows it to be treated as a partnership for certain foreign tax purposes. It is used in joint ventures and investment structures requiring flow-through treatment. It is administered through a licensed registered agent.
SC_4891 (CDQ)	Unlimited Company (en)		An Unlimited Company in Seychelles gives its members no cap on liability for the company's debts if it is wound up with a shortfall.

SC_6575 (CDQ)	International Business Company - Protected Cell Company (en)	IBC (en)	An International Business Company organised as a protected cell company in Seychelles combines the offshore company framework with cells whose assets and liabilities are legally segregated.

Contracts must state clearly which cell is engaging.
SC_6898 (CDQ)	Special License Company (en)	CSL (en)	A Special License Company in Seychelles is a domestic company holding a special licence that allows it to carry on defined international activities with a low rate of tax and access to the country's treaty network.

SC_7355 (CDQ)	Limited Partnership (en)	LP (en)	A Limited Partnership in Seychelles consists of a general partner who manages the business and is liable without limit and limited partners whose exposure is capped at their commitment. Limited partners must avoid management to preserve that protection. It is used for investment funds and joint ventures established in the jurisdiction. Registration is with the financial services authority through a licensed agent.
SC_7379 (CDQ)	International Trust (en)		An International Trust in Seychelles is a trust registered under the jurisdiction's international trust legislation, in which a trustee holds assets for beneficiaries under a trust deed. It offers confidentiality and asset protection features and must have a licensed local trustee. The trust has no legal personality, so the trustee contracts and holds title. It is used for succession and wealth structuring.
SC_7591 (CDQ)	Company Limited by Guarantee (en)		A Company Limited by Guarantee in Seychelles has members who promise a fixed amount towards its debts on a winding up rather than subscribing shares. Without share capital it cannot distribute profits, which suits non-profit and purpose driven structures. Directors manage it under its constitution. The guarantees behind it are usually nominal.
SC_8279 (CDQ)	Foundation (en)		A Foundation in Seychelles is an ownerless legal person endowed with assets and dedicated to purposes or beneficiaries set out in its charter. It offers a civil law style alternative to a trust and is used for succession planning, asset protection and philanthropy. A council administers it under the charter and regulations, with a registered agent in the jurisdiction. Founders may reserve certain powers over the foundation.
SC_8402 (CDQ)	International Business Company - Company Limited by Shares and Guarantee (en)	IBC (en)	An International Business Company limited by shares and guarantee in Seychelles combines the offshore company framework with a hybrid membership in which some members hold shares and others give guarantees.

SC_8634 (CDQ)	Proprietary Company (en)		A Proprietary Company in Seychelles is a closely held domestic company whose shares are not offered to the public and whose transfers are restricted.

SC_8908 (CDQ)	Public Company (en)		A Public Company in Seychelles is a domestic company entitled to offer its shares to the public and subject to greater disclosure and audit obligations. Shareholders are liable only for amounts unpaid on their shares. It is used where an entity seeks a wider investor base. Registration and supervision lie with the financial services authority.
SC_9444 (CDQ)	International Business Company - Company Limited by Shares (en)	IBC (en)	An International Business Company limited by shares in Seychelles is the jurisdiction's principal offshore vehicle, offering limited liability, quick incorporation and a flexible corporate structure. It is intended for business carried on outside the country and is administered through a licensed registered agent. International transparency standards and economic substance requirements have narrowed its former tax advantages. It remains widely used in international holding structures.
