Nominee elements traditionally hold an important place in "pure" offshore or combined offshore/onshore structures. If carefully chosen, they can provide a desirable level of anonymity and asset protection for the end beneficiaries, while retaining complete manageability. The most frequently used offshore nominee services are Nominee Directors, Nominee Shareholders and Nominee Companies.
The detailed description of Nominee Company's features, including tax-planning benefits, is presented on a separate page that could be found here: (Nominee Company)
NOMINEE DIRECTOR
The Nominee Director is a natural person or a corporate body,
who only formally holds the position of an offshore company's
director. Within the context of our services the underlying
offshore company may be incorporated in the following jurisdictions:
Bahamas,
BVI,
Belize, Nevis,
Mauritius, Seychelles
IBC, Cyprus or UK.
NOMINEE MANAGER
Nominee Manager is a natural person or a corporation, who
is a Limited Liability Company's Manager only in name.
GENERAL POWER OF ATTORNEY
The Nominee Director (Manager) may issue a General Power
of Attorney in the name of a client or his authorized
representative. You may kindly find here a
sample standard power of attorney. It may be amended
by a specific instruction from the client before it is issued
and, where applicable, authenticated (e.g. with Apostille).
The client or his/her authorized representative (Attorney-in-Fact)
is entrusted actually the same powers as the Director (Manager)
himself, including but not limited to managing day-to-day business activities and opening of bank accounts. In most cases the powers may be restricted only
by a relevant national and/or international legislation.
Please, see the description of our Nominee Director Services
and relevant fees on the Nominee Services page.
NOMINEE SHAREHOLDER
Nominee Shareholder or (a Member for a Nevis LLC) Services are provided
by a specific request of a client. The shares (member interest)
of the client's company will be held only for nominee purposes
(e.g. the Shareholders' or Members' details to be listed
in the Registrar of the jurisdiction of the client's company
incorporation or in some other public documents). The ultimate
beneficiary of the company remains the only person actually
authorized to dispose of its business, acts, and deeds.
At any point, the Offshore Nominee Shareholder will transfer the
shares he/she formally holds to the person(s) listed in
the appropriate instruction from the Beneficiary.
