Are company directors or shareholders publicly visible in Seychelles?

Not in a fully open way. Seychelles does have a public business register that provides access to publicly available business information, but that does not mean all director, shareholder, or beneficial ownership details are freely visible in the same way as a fully open online registry.

The key difference is that Seychelles combines limited public company information with controlled-access transparency rules. Beneficial ownership is governed under a separate legal framework, and access is restricted rather than fully public. This means the jurisdiction still offers more privacy than some fully transparent registries, while remaining inside a regulated disclosure system.

For example, regulators and authorized authorities may obtain more information through legal channels, while an ordinary third party using the public register will only see the publicly available business details.

Overall, Seychelles still provides a degree of privacy, but it no longer operates as a secrecy-based model outside modern transparency rules.
