Step 1 - Approve the name
Name reservation is a fairly quick process. Approval is given almost immediately.
Restrictions: Anything identical or similar to a company already incorporated. Anything that implies patronage of the Seychelles, or any other government, insurance, royal, imperial or any other name that may imply that a company intends to undertake a licensable or undesirable activity. Prohibited words include, for example “Bank”, “Building Society”, “Imperial”. The Registrar also has discretion to reject names that are indecent, offensive or misleading.

Step 2 – State corporate features of your future company
You can either fill in the Instruction form or simply send us the details:
The Authorised Capital
The share capital may consist of shares with a nominal or par value. A statement to that effect needs to be included in the Memorandum of Association and in the Articles of Association. Any share capital pays the same registration fee; there is no limit on the capital. Our standard Memorandum of Association provides that the authorised capital will consist of US$ 100,000 divided into 100,000 shares with a par value of US$ 1.00 each or no par value. The directors are duly empowered to issue shares as registered or to the bearer, as they may at their discretion determine by resolution. Should a client prefer, it can be stated in the Memorandum of Association that shares are without par value.
Special Clauses
Unless there is a particular reason for requesting that an additional or special clause be included or a particular clause deleted, or that any other amendment be made, it is suggested that our existing standard Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association be used.
Directors
Provide us with Directors' details. The minimum number of directors is one, who may be a natural person or a body corporate. They may be of any nationality and need not be resident in the Seychelles. The directors’ names will never appear on any public document. This information will remain confidential. In order to increase the confidentiality you may opt for Apollo nominee director’s services.
Shareholders
Provide us with Shareholders' details. The minimum number of shareholders is one, who may be a natural person or a corporate body. They may be of any nationality and need not be resident in the Seychelles. The shareholders’ names will never appear on any public document. This information will remain confidential. In order to increase the confidentiality you may opt for Apollo nominee shareholder’s services.
