Shareholders of UK companies are obliged by law to disclose their name on the public record maintained by the Companies House and on the relevant company’s statutory registers, which are also available for public inspection at the registered office of the company.

 

For commercial reasons some clients do not wish to be identified as company shareholders and choose to appoint  a nominee shareholder who will hold shares on trust on their behalf and whose details will appear on the public record.

 

We will act as a nominee shareholder for you.  We will deal with the shares in accordance with your instructions and you will receive all the benefits of share ownership such as dividends.  You will be able to transfer the shares to yourself or another person at any time.

Note that we will not assume any responsibility for managing the company where we act as a nominee shareholder.  We will comply with anti money-laundering provision as required by the UK legislation.
