When a beneficial owner does not wish to disclose their ownership, nominee shareholders are a useful tool. Limited companies must have at least one shareholder. In the United Kingdom and many other jurisdictions the name of the shareholder is on public record.

We appoint a nominee to hold shares in trust upon your behalf. Then we issue the beneficial owner with a declaration of trust confirming that the shares are held in name only. The nominee shareholder can be a person or a corporation.
