SMCS delivers a comprehensive suite of business solutions designed for companies operating in or through Seychelles. From offshore Securities Dealer licensing to full compliance outsourcing, corporate advisory, accounting, and virtual asset solutions, our team combines deep regulatory insight with practical global experience.
A Securities Dealer License (SDL) is essential for brokers seeking to operate globally and serve international markets.
In Seychelles, the Financial Services Authority (FSA) regulates and supervises all non-bank financial services under the Securities Act, 2007. Holding an SDL authorises a broker to act as a securities dealer—buying, selling, or exchanging securities as principal or agent (A-book or B-book).

Our established relationship with the FSA allows us to streamline the process and provide fast, reliable, and compliant licensing support.
