The country’s location, just four degrees south of the equator in the western Indian Ocean, presents a range of advantages to the prospective investor. With 115 in total, the natural islands together covered a total land area of 455.3 sq.km with Mahé as the main island covering a total land area of 153 sq km. The islands are spread over an Exclusive Economic Zone of 1.3million km2.  Our neighbours are Mauritius, Madagascar, Reunion and the Maldives.

Located outside the cyclone belt, businesses and infrastructures in the country are free from the threat of the devastating tropical storms which occur further south. Instead Seychelles enjoys year round sunshine, with just enough rain to keep the mountains and atolls lush and green.

And what better climate and location in which to entertain clients and business partners than on the country’s sun soaked beaches or tranquil, luxurious five-star hotels.

In a time zone four hours ahead of GMT Seychelles is open for business at the same time as everywhere from Tokyo to London an attribute easily combined with modern communications technology making Seychelles an ideal hub for business spanning Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
