Nominee Director

The UK company law requires that information on directors must be registered in the public files of the Companies House registry.

Therefore a client's anonymity and confidentiality can only be maintained by using nominee directors. The main function of the Nominee Director is to protect the Beneficial Owner from the public disclosure requirements that exist in the UK and other jurisdictions. It is a perfectly legal structure designed to help a person who would rather not disclose their interest or association with a given corporate body.

The purpose of a nominee director is that it is the names of the nominee directors that appear in the corporate documentation. This means that names of the company's beneficial owners are not disclosed to the Companies Registry, so that clients are ensured the utmost confidentiality.

There are however limitations to the function of the Nominee Director. The Nominee is a director of a company in name only and has no other powers or responsibility. Protecting both parties when using such a service is very important to us. Despite having a nominee director in a company the responsibility on either party does not diminish. We make sure that all necessary contracts and agreements are signed to protect your interest and that of our nominees. This service will be provided with our associates.

Nominee shareholders

Every company must have at least one shareholder. This person's name and address will also appear on public record. We can provide you with a nominee shareholder. A nominee is normally a company created for the purpose of holding shares and other securities on behalf of investors. With our service the nominee is not the legal owner of the shares, and the underlying investors have the "beneficial interest" in the shares: i.e. they are entitled to all income and capital gains on them.

Upon taking on the duties of Nominee Shareholder, we would hold your shares on trust in the form of a Nominee Agreement. Our Nominee Agreement would serve the purpose of ensuring that your identity as Beneficial Owner(s) is only known to us and not put on public record at the Company's Registry. An original Share Transfer Form signed by us, but undated, will be issued to you, so that you can have the security of being able to transfer the shares at any time. A nominee holding occurs where a third party holds shares on your behalf. This can be purely an administrative matter to aid the management of shareholdings.

Nominee Company Secretary

In the United Kingdom and many other countries it is a requirement of company law that the names and addresses of the company secretary, directors and shareholders are shown on public record. This means that these details are available to any person or organisation that carries out a company search. In most jurisdictions a company secretary must be either a corporate body or an individual. Global Business Centre Limited provides such a service and makes sure that your company's statutory books with the authority are always updated and annual returns are filed on time.
