Offshore Islands

Nominee Director or Nominee Shareholder in a company means that individual persons, and sometimes corporations, will act as nominee directors and shareholders (nominee companies). Purchasing a nominee service usually aims at ensuring the confidentiality of the actual owner of the company.

Often the State registers of legal entities, such as the register of British companies are available as electronic resources open to the public. Anyone can get information about who is a director or shareholder of a company with minimal effort. The authentic owner of a company will use nominees in order to hide his involvement in a foreign company and prevent "exposing" his name on documentation when registering an offshore company.
