I'm thinking about registering a Seychelles company for my e-commerce business. I've found a cryptopayment gateway that doesn't mind if it's a Seychelles company, and I've also figured out a way to convert crypto to fiat without any issues.
I plan to use the company as a front, registering it as something like ECommerce AG, so people get the impression it's a German or Swiss corporation, or at least a company with the credibility of an AG. I'll just use a mailing address in Germany, for example.
Is this a good idea if I'm aiming for credibility? I think it looks better to have a corporation in Germany rather than a UK LTD, right?
If you use words like "front" etc it maybe not a good idea to post in public section of forum. Although I understand the context in that you just want to have company giving public impression it is a Europe company it did not come across well.
In any case today Seychelles companies are still used. You clearly took the right steps in finding payment providers that will work with such companies before going ahead and forming one.
However I don't know if you looked at the full picture. Where are you resident and why do you want a Seychelles company also compared to other jurisdictions? Are you trying to save on taxes for example?

Isn't giving a German mailing address creating risks that German authorities may claim the company operated in Germany and is thus liable for German taxes?
