3 An attractive business environment How we ll work for you The Seychelles is a sought-after jurisdiction for offshore incorporations, with a stable, yet independent, political and economic climate. Many of our existing clients use the islands as an incorporation centre, but it also offers a very attractive platform for the management and control of Seychelles companies. The Seychelles time zone makes it more convenient for European clients (especially when compared to Asian or Caribbean jurisdictions) and its extensive double taxation agreements not to mention cost effective professional services all complete the offering. 6 reasons why the Seychelles makes sense 1 A professional infrastructure local legal resources are now considerable 2 A fast and simple incorporation process 3 Low statutory annual license fees and statutory redomicilation costs 4 A growing number of Double Taxation Treaties 5 An independent territory, with no dependency on the UK or EU 6 Official currency: US dollar As a global business with wellestablished roots in the Seychelles, we re in tune with all the country s relevant legislative, political and economic changes. This means we re able to provide you with our considered insight and on-theground expertise. We have always got your best interests at heart, and if we believe that we can help your business perform better, we ll keep you informed and up-to-date. A unique feature of Jordans Trust Company is that we are part of the renowned Jordans Group. The Group includes Jordans Corporate Law Limited, a new legal practice regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Established in 2013, the law firm advises Jordans Trust Company clients on diverse matters. Jordans Group also includes Jordans Accounting Services, providing Trust Company clients with accounting advice and support since The net result?

They provide local insight and a full range of management, trust and director services in this well regulated offshore financial centre. A personal, professional service you can count on.

4 Delivering services at every step A modern approach built on established values Directors Jordans can provide full director and management services in the Seychelles for IBCs, CSLs and other foreign-registered companies (e.g. BVI companies). Nominee Shareholders Jordans provide corporate shareholders to hold shares under the terms of a declaration of trust in favour of the beneficial owner of the structure. This service provides full confidentiality for clients. Trusts We can create trusts in the Seychelles. Trusts are exempt from tax in the Seychelles, and offer considerable tax and succession benefits for high net worth families. Our licensed professional corporate trustees can act as a trustee of a variety of trusts, e.g. fixed interest or discretionary, governed by Seychelles or other trust law. Foundations Seychelles has a modern Foundations Law based on the Liechtenstein model. A Foundation is a body corporate without members and is similar in effect to a trust (a Foundation can be likened to a corporate trust ). The Foundation appeals particularly to practitioners and their clients in civil law countries. Trustees Services Where robust tax and succession planning is required, Jordans will provide trustees to own the shares of the company and arrange the drafting of the appropriate trust instrument. Tax Advice & Accounting We can deliver comprehensive, trusted international tax advice and a full range of accounting services via our UK office. This advice is always available to our Seychelles clients. International Business Companies We take care of setting up International Business Companies (IBC s) for clients. They are quick to incorporate and offer low incorporation and maintenance costs, and a variety of uses.
