Services & clientele
In the United Kingdom, it is a requirement of company law that information on a companies directors, shareholders and People with Significant Control (PSCs) must be publicly registered at Companies House.
Whether you are an overseas entrepreneur entering the UK market or have a corporate structure in need of professional representation, our service provides peace of mind and full regulatory alignment whilst ensuring the company owner retains complete control.
The idea of a nominee director may seem full of difficulties and can, in some instances be used incorrectly. Indeed, such arrangements have often been put in place without realising the implications involved, either to the nominee in question, or the appointing company.
It is, however, extremely common to appoint nominee directors which are perfectly legal and safe, providing you are cautious. It is important to choose the right provider for your director services and ensure the right agreement for appointment of your nominee director.
Our clients can rely on us thanks to our long-standing track record, robust compliance procedures, and thorough due diligence. This is particularly important because the risks associated with appointing a nominee director affect both the nominee and the company’s beneficial owner. We are also HMRC-supervised for anti-money laundering compliance, ensuring that our services are reliable and fully compliant for clients seeking a trustworthy nominee provider.

- The nominee does not enter into the operations of the company.
We provide you with Power of Attorney, stating that you have authority to act for the company and are the beneficial owner.

However, this may vary depending on the company’s ownership structure and the jurisdiction of the ultimate beneficial owner (UBO). In some cases, we must apply a higher fee to reflect the additional due diligence, ongoing monitoring, and administrative work involved.

CG Incorporations Limited
We recently worked with CG Incorporations to take corporate advice and nominee director services for our UK entity. The CG incorporations team is really experienced in this field. They helped us a lot, providing the required services on time & to understand the corporate structure, compliance requirements in UK.
The whole process was very seamless & fast. I would highly recommend CG incorporation, if you are planning to expand your business in UK or EU from overseas. Our company was in touch with Tripty from CG Incorporations, and she was very helpful throughout the process. Kudos to the whole team for great services :)
