When any company is registered in Cyprus, the company's file at the Registrar of Companies (which contains details of the directors, shareholders, company secretary and registered office) is open to inspection by the public. By choosing to appoint nominee directors and shareholders i.e. persons to act on their behalf you can avoid this. In such a case, it is the names of the nominees which will appear in the company's file. Information regarding the identify of the true owners is not disclosed to any third party or governmental authority unless it is in relation to a properly authorized criminal investigation.

Being a nominee director shareholder of the company does not mean that you need to be also the bank signatory. A bank signatory can be anyone. Also only the designated bank signatories of the account can control or have any access over the bank account.

We can provide both nominee director and shareholder services in any country in which you wish to incorporate.
