The most versatile type of all offshore corporate entities available in Seychelles is the International Business Company, known as the IBC. It is very similar to the other widely known offshore corporate vehicles, notably the British Virgin Islands IBC. There are currently over 12,000 IBC registered in Seychelles. The International Business Company is the most widely used vehicle for offshore operations in the Seychelles; it normally takes the form of a private company limited by shares, but can also be a Limited Life Company. The governing legislation is the International Business Companies Act 1994.

Every company files a copy of its Memorandum and Articles of Association, or "M&A" with the Registrar of Companies upon incorporation. These documents can be extremely brief or very detailed, depends on the law in the particular jurisdiction and on the practices of the particular incorporation agent. These documents lay out all the general information about the company. Usually these documents describe the type of company, its address, operational objects, authorised capital, the procedure for appointing and dismissing directors and officers and their scope of competence and responsibility, the procedure of share allocation, how shareholder's meetings are called and the competence of such meetings and how it should be executed, the procedures of keeping accounts, liquidation and similar administrative matters that are characteristic to any corporate entity. The Memorandum and Articles of an offshore company are usually signed by a person called "Subscriber" or "Incorporator". The Subscriber is simply a person (or, more often, a dedicated company) closely associated with your offshore service provider. The Subscriber essentially incorporates the company for you and acts as the first shareholder on your behalf. Otherwise you would have to travel to the offshore jurisdiction and sign the documentation personally. The Subscriber usually subscribes for the legally acceptable minimum amount of shares in the company. After the registration of the company, the initial Subscriber may remain registered on public file as the (nominee) shareholder, or the minimum amount of shares that he usually holds can be transferred to the actual client.

A Seychelles IBC is, by definition of the law, not subject to any tax or duty on income or profits. It is also exempt from stamp duties on transfer of property and any exchange controls. Essentially, a Seychelles IBC is a completely tax-free corporation, insofar as it complies with a few simple rules of operation. The law provides that all exemptions for a Seychelles IBC shall remain in force for a period of twenty years from the date of incorporation of an IBC.

Bearer shares. A Seychelles IBC can be configured with bearer shares, although certain procedural restrictions towards use of bearer shares are expected to be introduced soon. Offshore corporations, like onshore corporations, use shares to reflect their ownership. Shares are units representing a participation of a person in the company. Taking (or buying) a share in a company means simply that a person has agreed to invest some of his personal money or assets into the company. When he has done so, he acquires the right to participate in the profits and the decision-making process of that company in proportion to his share as in the total amount of the capital of the company.

The manager may, for example, have a signing authority on a bank or securities account, or the powers to negotiate certain types of contracts for the company or do anything else that may be written in his power of attorney.
