Nominee Services

What Are Nominees and 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 bodie

Overview Of Nominee Services

Nominee information

We will provide you with a copy of the nominee’s passport and proof of their address.

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.

Choosing Agents

Why Would I Change Agents?

When you first incorporate an offshore company, you start with tax planning and legal matters. This does not mean you will not have any issues in the future. Issues may not just be related to finances, they may relate to supporting, maintaining and advising your company from year to year and dealing with some matters during the life of your business. You have to choose the proper provider or registered agent to serve your offshore structure during its lifetime. In case your company already had a Registered Agent but you do not like the way they support the company, they cannot provide the requested services. If you are not happy with your choice and you want to change, you want to choose another one, if so, we can help you change the Registered Agent (or Secretary).

How To Change Agents?

Step 1

Provide us with your current company documents and a resolution (as our checklist required) to change your local agent/secretary company.

Step 2

Pay for the services you ordered.

Step 3

Details of the new local agent or secretary company will be updated on the government system within 1 to 3 working days, depending on the jurisdiction.

Company Renewal

Overview

As your Registered Agent/Company Secretary, it is our duty to remind & support you to renew and comply with any legal requirement asked by the Government. Renewal is a must for all companies, in order to keep their good standing status with the Government, and maintain the business and also the company bank account. Depending on each Jurisdiction, the annual due date will be different and we will remind you on time about this to avoid any penalty fee. To find out about the annual due date of your company, please see the below Fees Schedule for more information.

  • Updated documents such as Business License, Annual Return, Confirmation Receipt, etc will be provided after finishing the Renewal process.

Legal Action Against Non-renewal Companies

Non-payment of annual renewal fees will incur severe late penalties, legal consequences and at risk of frozen Bank account. Example: For Hong Kong company, the Annual Return must be filed within 42 days since the anniversary date of incorporation. An additional fee will be charged if the filing date is passed and will increase for each period. Failure to comply, the company and the officer(s) will be liable for fine or receive a summon letter from Hong Kong High Court. In the worst case scenario, the company may be at risk of struck-off by not arrange the Annual Renewal fee on time.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What Are Offshore Companies?

An offshore company is one that conducts its business outside the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated.

An offshore company has three main features:

1. The company should be registered within the jurisdiction of incorporation;
2. The incorporator(s) need to reside outside the jurisdiction of incorporation
3. The company should also operate outside the jurisdiction of incorporation at all times. Offshore companies are most commonly associated with increased tax benefits.

03 Why Are CorpAgent's Fees So Low?

04 What Is The Differences Between A Director And A Shareholder?

A shareholder owns the company by means of a share certificate. Companies can be owned by one or more shareholders. The shareholder can also be a company, as well as an individual. A director is responsible for the company management. The director signs business contracts, opens accounts for the company, etc. Directors are either elected by shareholders, or appointed by resolution. A company can have one or several directors and can be an individual or a company.

05 Can A Shareholder Also Be A Director?

Yes, in most jurisdictions. It is common to find that a company shareholder is also a director.

06 Will A Corporate Bank Account Be Automatically Opened For My Company When I Am Done Opening My Offshore Company?

No, this is not automatic. If you request this option, we will collaborate with you to choose the most suitable bank for your needs, from our banking network. The bank will then inform you if they are able to open an account; this depends on the personal information you provide and also the nature of your business. However, in over 95% of cases, we have successfully opened an account for our clients.

07 Do I Have To Be Physically Present At The Bank To Open A Corporate Bank Account For My Company?

You are under no obligation to open a bank account in person. The entire process can be completed by mail. Nevertheless, we can arrange a personal meeting with a manager of one of our banks, if you wish.

08 Which Banks Do You Use?

We are unable to disclose the establishment names for legal reasons. Nonetheless, we can assure you that we only deal with the most reputable banks, which can offer you a professional service in all areas (anonymous debit and credit cards, internet banking etc).

09 Can I Choose My Own Company's Name?

Most definitely! Our suggestion is that you do this. You will be requested to enter two company names on the application form, giving the preferred name first. We then have to check with the Company Registry from the offshore jurisdiction of your choice, to find out if either of the names can be used. If neither name is available, we will suggest some alternatives. We can also send you a list of shelf companies on request.

10 What Are Nominees and What Are Nominee Services?
