Why Seychelles?

Having the highest gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in Africa, the country offers opportunities across key sectors such as fisheries, tourism, and financial services.

The government’s tax framework can support international businesses; firms that register in Seychelles and conduct business abroad are exempt from taxation. With the ease of establishing a business here, Seychelles can be a location worth considering for international expansion.
