Nominee shareholder service




The name of every shareholder of every UK company is recorded in both the company's statutory registers and at Companies House. This information is therefore publicly available.

Some shareholders may require confidentiality for commercial reasons. For example, whilst directors may apply for confidentiality orders to keep their home addresses private, this facility is not available to shareholders. Companies may also wish to keep secret their ownership of development companies, for valid commercial reasons.

This problem is often addressed through the use of nominee shareholders. The nominee shareholder will execute a declaration of trust in favour of the true owner of the shares (called the 'beneficial owner') in which it agrees to exercise all voting rights and otherwise deal with the shares only in accordance with the instructions of the beneficial owner. The name of the nominee shareholder then appears on all public records relating to the shareholding.

We offer either or both of the following UK companies to act as nominee shareholder for your company:

Bedford Nominees (U.K.) Ltd
20 Bedford Row, London WC1R 4JS

Registered Share Nominees Limited
21 St Thomas Street, Bristol BS1 6JS

and/or either or both of the following BVI registered companies where an offshore nominee is required:

Jordan Nominees (BVI) Limited
Geneva Place, Waterfront Drive, PO Box 3469, Road Town, Tortola, BVI

Saavadra Registrars Limited
Geneva Place, Waterfront Drive, PO Box 3469, Road Town, Tortola, BVI

If the value of the shares to be held exceeds £20, we will need proof that the shares have been fully paid - e.g. a copy bank statement.

The annual subscription fee is £180 plus VAT (£211.50), each additional beneficial owner £75 plus VAT (£88.12).

Evidence of identity
Please note that it will be necessary to provide evidence of identity when subscribing to this service. (e.g. certified copy passport or driving licence and utility bill).
