Reverse Nominee Shareholder Service

Service Overview

A reverse nominee shareholder arrangement allows you to act as the legal shareholder of company shares while another party (typically a foreign entity or individual) is the beneficial owner. This specialized structure creates a clear legal framework where you appear as the shareholder of record, while contractual arrangements specify the limitations of your role and protect the rights of the beneficial owner.

This arrangement is particularly valuable for complex international business structures, cross-border investments, and scenarios where local shareholder requirements exist in certain jurisdictions. Our service ensures that the rights and responsibilities of all parties are clearly defined, documented, and legally enforceable.
