June 9, 2025

Only a fraction of aspiring entrepreneurs take the leap to establish a business in Seychelles because of the perceived complexities. But the government’s recent initiatives and new incentives aim to simplify the process for both locals and foreigners.

Government Incentives Aim to Simplify Business Registration

“This move is really focused on making it easier for individuals to start businesses,” said senior advisor at the Seychelles Investment Board. “What it allows us to do is, one, offer streamlined registration, and two, provide a more affordable entry point for small businesses,” he added.

Many business owners currently benefit from the Seychelles government’s one-stop-shop model, which reduces paperwork and accelerates licensing. For those who have been hesitant to launch a business due to bureaucratic hurdles, the new steps provide a clear path – with some entrepreneurs registering their businesses in just a few days.

Opportunities for Local and Foreign Entrepreneurs

The government’s efforts also include simplified tax requirements and the possibility to operate across a range of industries, including tourism, fisheries, and digital services, the Seychelles Investment Board said.

These efforts extend to both local and foreign investors looking for investment in Seychelles’ thriving market. “Other foreign entrepreneurs looking to establish in Seychelles can look forward to a quicker approval process and clarified regulation,” added the advisor. “It’s part of our approach to put Seychelles out there as a competitive business hub.” Our experts assist the client through the entire process from compliance to successful entry into market. Moreover, we provide an extensive list of ready-made companies for sale.

“With this model, entrepreneurs can reduce the amount of time they spend dealing with paperwork, and increase the amount of time they can focus growing their businesses,” he said, referring to the balanced manner in which the government of Seychelles has worked to drive economic development alongside environmental conservation.
