Licensed Companies
In Seychelles

The Seychelles licence is a full securities dealer authorisation at a fraction of the running cost of the larger centres, which is why it anchors many offshore brokerages.

A.I. Overview

A Seychelles securities dealer can be acquired, and no share in it may be issued or transferred — legal or beneficial, whatever the size — without the FSA's prior approval.

Ready-Made Or From Scratch In Seychelles?

Buying the entity shortens the queue, not the diligence. Getting the licence from zero is cheaper in fees and far longer in months — the trade is time against cost, and the numbers are on the jurisdiction page.

Ready-made

  • Live in 8–12 weeks
  • Licence already granted
  • Priced as an asset, audit included
  • You inherit the history — which is why we audit it

From scratch

  • Months, not weeks
  • Outcome not guaranteed
  • Lower cash cost, higher time cost
  • Clean history by construction
Questions

Questions Buyers Ask First

01How long does a transfer in Seychelles actually take?
Typically 8–12 weeks from signed terms to the entity being yours. The variable is the regulator, not the paperwork: the change of control is assessed before completion, and that assessment sets the calendar.
02What does Financial Services Authority (FSA Seychelles) check about the buyer?
Fitness and propriety of the incoming owners and managers, the source of the funds, and whether the business model after the sale still matches what was authorised. A clean, documented answer to those three shortens the process more than anything else.
03Is a company in Seychelles usable outside it?
Only within its home market, with cross-border work handled case by case. If you need reach across the EU, look at a jurisdiction whose licence passports instead.
04What if nothing is in stock right now?
Then the card says so. We source against a written brief through the partner network, quote a real figure once a position is found, and never claim to hold a company we do not. The first buyer who asks to see documents is the last one who would come back otherwise.
