UK Company law requires that information on directors must be registered in the public files of the Companies Registry. Therefore only by using nominee directors can the client's anonymity and confidentiality be ensured. The basic function of the Nominee Director is to shield working executives of Limited and other companies from the public disclosure requirements that exist in the UK and other jurisdictions.

The essence of a nominee director service is that it is the names of the nominee directors are indicated 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.

At the same time the appointed nominees are not actually entitled to manage the company. We can provide the beneficial owner with a Power of Attorney empowering him or her to run the business, manage the company's activities and open and operate the company's bank accounts.

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 responsibilities. Please see our nominee director agreement.
