Reverse Nominee Secretary Service
Specialized service where you serve as the corporate secretary for a company while the actual administrative functions and obligations are managed by another party.
Service Overview
A reverse nominee secretary arrangement involves you serving as the official company secretary on record, while the actual administrative responsibilities and functions are handled by another party (typically the beneficial owners or their representatives). This structure allows you to fulfill the formal corporate secretary role required by many jurisdictions while limiting your actual administrative workload.
This arrangement is particularly valuable for foreign entities that need to comply with local corporate secretary requirements in specific jurisdictions. Our comprehensive service includes all necessary legal documentation to clearly define the relationship, responsibilities, and limitations of your role as the nominal secretary.
