Need a nominee shareholder for an Irish company? Chern & Co provides a nominee shareholder who holds the shares on trust for you, the beneficial owner, under a declaration of trust, while you keep full economic ownership and control of the shares. The beneficial owner is still identified and recorded as Irish law requires.
A nominee shareholder is the registered holder of shares who holds them for the benefit of another person, the beneficial owner. The nominee’s name appears in the company’s register of members and in the annual return filed with the CRO. The beneficial owner keeps the right to the shares, the dividends and the proceeds of any sale, and can require the nominee to transfer the shares back at any time.
Owners who prefer their own name not to appear in the register of members and the CRO annual return, groups that hold shares through a nominee for administrative reasons, and founders forming a company together with a nominee director.
Yes. Shares can be held by a nominee on trust for a beneficial owner. The beneficial owner must still be recorded in the RBO and identified under AML rules.
No. The nominee’s name appears in the register of members and the annual return, but you are recorded as the beneficial owner in the RBO and are known to us, banks and the authorities.
Yes. The declaration of trust and the signed share transfer form allow the shares to be transferred back to you or to a person you name.
A nominee shareholder holds the shares. A nominee director sits on the board and takes on the duties of a director under the Companies Act 2014. They are separate services.
