Nominee Shareholder

The owners of a limited company are called Shareholders and their names and addresses are published on the Companies House records, where they can be searched by credit checking services and the general public (including competitors). People who are preparing confidential business changes may not want their competitors to know what they are involved in...


The confidential solution...

By appointing a Nominee Shareholder you authorise a proxy to hold the shares for you. Your rights are protected by a Contract and Declaration of Trust, two legal documents that guarantee that you retain full control over your shares. But only the nominee's details will be shown on the public records... your personal details will be kept confidential.

 


Control

By appointing a Nominee you do not lose control. Our contract and Declaration of Trust oblige us to respect your ownership rights.


Confidentiality

Our files are kept secure. We do not reveal clients' information unless we have their permission.


Ordered Management take care of the details.

Our name says it all - our business is well ordered and closely managed. Our software forces us to look after the details and get things right.


What is a Share?

A lot of people get confused about shares and why not? They are talked about in monetary terms, but they are not money. Fundamentally, they are tokens of ownership. If you have 6 shares and the only other shareholder has 4 you own 60% of the business. (The same would be true if you held 60 Shares and the other person held 40.) You have the controlling vote, you get the largest payout if a dividend is paid from the profits and you get the biggest proportion of the proceeds if the company is sold. As for the face value, it means (almost) nothing. A company is worth what someone will pay for it - and a 60% shareholding is worth 60% of that value... Got it?
