Nominee Shareholding

Protect your privacy. Empower your business.

Building a business is about vision, growth, and success — not about worrying that your personal details might appear on public record. That’s where our Nominee Shareholder Service comes in.

With a nominee acting as the registered owner of your company shares, your name stays private while you retain full control and ownership behind the scenes. It’s a smart, seamless way to protect your confidentiality, stay compliant, and move forward with confidence.

Why Do Business Owners Use Nominee Services?

1. Protect Your Business Interests
There are many good reasons to keep your shareholding discreet.
For example, if you invest in a company that also works with competitors, you may prefer to stay off the public record. A nominee allows you to do exactly that — keeping sensitive details private while you continue to enjoy all the rights and rewards of ownership.

2. Meet Legal Requirements with Ease
Some company structures require more than one shareholder.
If you’re a sole owner, appointing a nominee is a simple, compliant solution — no need to restructure or amend your Articles of Association. It’s privacy and practicality, perfectly combined.

Key Terms, Simply Explained

Nominee Shareholder
A nominee shareholder holds legal title to your shares, while you remain the true (beneficial) owner. Their name appears on Companies House records — yours does not. You stay fully in control; the nominee is there in name only.

Nominee Subscriber
If you appoint a nominee at the point of incorporation, their name appears on your Memorandum of Association. This keeps your ownership completely private from day one.

When Can You Appoint a Nominee?

At Incorporation – Appoint a nominee when forming your company, so their name appears on the initial incorporation documents.
After Incorporation – You can add a nominee later by updating your Companies House records. We’ll guide you through every step.

What We Need From You

Getting started couldn’t be easier. We’ll just need:
• Your full name and address (as the beneficial owner)
• The number and value of shares to be held by the nominee

That’s it — we’ll prepare everything else.

What You’ll Receive

Once your nominee is appointed, you’ll receive a full set of legal documents confirming your ownership and rights, including:
• Declaration by the Beneficial Owner
• Declaration of Trust
• Indemnity Letter to the Nominee
• Terms and Conditions
• Transfer of Shares

These documents ensure everything is transparent, compliant, and fully protected.

Service Duration, Renewal & Pricing

Our Nominee Shareholder Service lasts 12 months.

The annual fee is £250 + VAT, which includes the transfer of shares for one person.

If there is more than one person listed as a shareholder wishing to use the nominee shareholding service, we will charge an additional £50 + VAT per person.

When your term is ending, you can:
• Renew your service with us, or
• Ask us to resign and transfer the shares back to you or another nominated person.

We’ll always send you a friendly reminder a month before renewal — so nothing catches you off guard.
