Nominee Company Shareholder Service

Every company has a shareholder or even a few. This is a registered owner of the company’s shares and shares capital who usually acts as a company director as well. Shareholders’ names are publicly visible in the company register office. If for any reason you have been looking for a shareholder to act on your behalf and on your guidance, our nominee company shareholder service is what you need. Continue reading to learn more!

Who is a Nominee Company Shareholder?

It’s a no-brainer to understand who is a company nominee shareholder if you’re familiar with a position of a shareholder. A nominee company shareholder is someone who “lends” his name to be registered as the official holder of shares when in reality he only acts for the benefit of a real shareholder.

As usual, a nominee shareholder is a friend, a family member or a trusted person of an entrepreneur. This can also be a total stranger to whom business owners pay money to act as a publicly known holder of shares. To enable an authentic shareholder to retain shares back or to prevent the nominee from undesired actions, a nominee and an entrepreneur sign a special nominee shareholder agreement.

When you May Need a Nominee Company Shareholder Service

In general, there are two reasons why you may need a nominee company shareholder: you can either apply for a nominee shareholder voluntarily or be required to do it by law.
With voluntarily nominee shareholder assignment, things are pretty clear. You may apply for a nominee company shareholder when you do not want your name to appear in a public register.
The most relevant reason for a compelled registration is when the country of any shareholder is under sanctions. In this case, your company cannot operate if a shareholder is a national or resides in a sanctioned country. The brightest example of such a case is the recent sanctions against the nationals and legal faces of the Russian Federation
