The Seychelles Private Foundation is an offshore foundation and also a legal entity separate from its creators, constituted through one sole donation or several donations that form an independent and autonomous estate for a definite purpose. A Foundation is a body corporate the combination of a corporation and a trust which has no owners (shareholders, members or partners) and has different aims for the benefit of group or a generality of persons.
