What must a Seychelles IBC name end with?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

A word or abbreviation that shows limited liability, such as Limited, Ltd, Corporation, Corp, Incorporated or Inc, or a foreign equivalent the Act allows. The name cannot match an existing company, and words suggesting banking, insurance or trust business need a licence or consent (confirm with your specialist). We check up to three names before filing.
