Nominee Services
What are nominee services?
A Nominee service is a legal way of protecting the identity and anonymity of the company owner. The main function of nominee directors or shareholders is to maintain the anonymity of the real owner by taking their place in all public records relating to the company and non-governmental bodies.
IMPORTANT! We provide the Nominee Services only for the companies which are under our management. If you would like to use our Nominees, the company has to be transferred from your existing agent to FF Advisers Ltd.
Nominee information
We will provide you with a copy of the nominee’s passport and proof of their address (and other documents if agreed).
Power of attorney for nominee director (with apostille)
Your company’s rights will be protected under a power of attorney. This will certify that you have full control of the company and the nominee director only represents you. All actions made by the nominee director will be taken under this contract until it ends. Then all rights will revert back to you and the nominee can no longer act on your behalf.
Declaration of trust for nominee shareholder
If you appoint a nominee shareholder, you will need to protect your rights to your shares. Issuing a declaration of trust without any loopholes helps you to confirm your full ownership of your shares while the nominee represents you.
To help you understand, the picture below shows the structure.
How the Nominee System works?
How does Nominee Service with FF Advisers works?
Step 1. Choose the services you need. Provide information of the company’s beneficial owner (a scanned copy of their passport and proof of their address).
Step 2. Pay for the services you have ordered.
Step 3. We will appoint a nominee, and provide the nominee’s Know Your Client (KYC) documents (scanned copy of passport and proof of address), Declaration of Trust (DOT), Power of Attorney (POA) and Directors Resignation letter (if you need these). These documents can be Notarized by Public Notary or Apostilled, based on your requirements.
Notes
- Service fee is per annum/per appointment.
- The service fee does not cover the fee for couriering the original copy of the POA or DOT to your residential address.
- You can open a bank account for your company with the POA and/or DOT we provided.
- An apostille is a certification and legalisation of documents by the government, normally the General Registry/Court of the local country.
