Nominee services for UK companies
When registering your new company you may require the services of a nominee shareholder, director or secretary for reasons of anonymity.
You can use an individual or use one of our 'in house' companies to act as a Nominee Shareholder. We will prepare a Declaration of Trust in favour of the beneficial owner. This Declaration is signed by us so that any time in the future when you want the shares to be transferred out of the name of the nominee shareholder, the transfer can be executed immediately. Any dividends remain the ownership of the beneficial owner and your ownership remains safe.
We can provide an individual or one of our ‘in house’ companies to act as a Nominee Director. However, the Director is ultimately responsible for the legal obligations and the running of the company and we must be absolutely certain when we take up a nominee directorship that the company is being incorporated and run legally and professionally.
A person or a body corporate appointed to act as a Nominee Director owes a fiduciary duty to the company even though their appointment is as a nominee only.
A Directors' duties and responsibilities are clearly defined in the Companies Act 2006 and failure to comply with these duties and responsibilities can lead to the disqualification of a Director.
Due to the onerous position of acting as a Director we must be selective when offering this service and we review each case separately. A Deed of Indemnity must be completed providing full details of the shadow director and compliance with our terms and conditions must be strictly adhered to.
It is a legal obligation for every public limited company to have a company secretary. This must be a suitably qualified person such as:
- Chartered Accountant
- Certified Accountant
- Chartered Secretary
- Barrister, Advocate or Solicitor
We have a Chartered Secretary who can act as Secretary.
