We have 20+ British and European nominee directors for your business needs. We also have nominee directors with no previous directorships.
A nominee director is someone officially appointed to a company’s board to represent the interests of another party — usually the beneficial owner or a stakeholder. While their name appears on public company records, they don’t hold real authority or make independent decisions. Instead, they act under the direction of the person or entity that nominated them.
Key aspects of a nominee director:
Representation:
Nominee directors represent the interests of another party, such as a parent company, lender, or the beneficial owner, within the company.
Anonymity:
They can be used to maintain the anonymity of the beneficial owner, as their name is on the public record as a director.
Compliance:
Nominee directors can help a company meet UK legal requirements, such as having a resident director.
Following instructions:
They are expected to follow the instructions of the person or entity that nominated them.
Limited control:
They typically have limited or no involvement in the day-to-day management of the company.
Why use a nominee director?
Privacy: To conceal the identity of the beneficial owner from the public.
Compliance: To meet UK residency requirements for directors.
Strategic representation: To ensure a particular stakeholder’s interests are represented on the board.
