Seychelles PCC

Seychelles PCC

In Seychelles, Protected Cell Companies PCC are formed under the Protected Cell Companies Act, 2003. A PCC is a Seychelles domestic company that has the right to create one or more identifiable cells so as to segregate and protect cellular assets as permitted under the Act. In simple terms, a PCC is a company which- in addition to its main or core level- contains a number of segregated parts, or cells. Each cell is legally independent and separate from the others, as well as from the core of the company.

The undertakings of one cell have no bearing on the other cells. Each cell is identified by a unique name, and the assets, liabilities and activities of each cell are ring-fenced from the others. If one cell becomes insolvent, creditors only have recourse to the assets of that particular cell and not to any other.
