Nominee Service
(Nominee Director, Nominee Shareholder)
Many businessmen and entrepreneurs decide to use nominee services when registering a new business in an offshore jurisdiction. Nominee service is an intermediary ownership and management tool, where people or legal entities are appointed as directors or shareholders.
If you would like to take the full advantage of the nominee services we will be able to assist you with providing professional and confidential advice and offer you our services.
Benefits of using nominee services
-
Using a nominee director or nominee shareholder can bring substantial benefits to you and your business.
-
Using nominee services will result in the name of the nominee person, rather that of the beneficial owners, to appear on the corporate documents such as the Articles of Incorporation. This ensures the owner’s identity is kept private, maintaining anonymity and a high level of security.
-
The nominee director, however, doesn’t hold any practical power over the business and is only for company incorporation.
-
Furthermore, the use of nominees will provide benefits of the tax system of the chosen offshore jurisdiction. For example, in order to gain the benefits of the Cyprus tax system the company must be a tax resident requiring the company to be controlled and managed from the country.
-
However, it must also be noted that, if lawfully requested by the Court or by the Financial Investigations Agency, the nominee directors are obliged to reveal the identity of the nominee.
