Less “red-tape” than with many other offshore company jurisdictions
Acceptability to international banks, Seychelles is not on any OECD or FATF blacklists
Seychelles is a stable and independent Country, not a Territory of a European state, and therefore less vulnerable to interference from a "Colonial" power. For example, recently the UK has substantially increased pressure, on the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands as well as its Caribbean Territories, including Caymans, BVI, Anguilla and Turks and Caicos, to increase regulation which, as well as increasing costs in those offshore jurisdictions, has and will continue to steadily erode financial privacy and benefits as well as increasing paperwork and red-tape. The consequential negative perception over the Caribbean centres has added to significant interest in Seychelles. Unlike the various British Territories and Dependencies, such as Channel Islands, BVI and Anguilla, Seychelles is not subject to the EU Savings Tax Directive.
