Nominee Shareholders:

There is a statutory requirement for a minimum of one shareholder, and for the details of shareholders to be put on public record. Upon purchasing a Gibraltar Company (be it a “Ready Made/Shelf Company” or a “Tailor-Made Company”), you can either act as a Shareholder in your own name, or apply for us to provide you with a Nominee Shareholder to secure your anonymity. Nominee Shareholders are supplied in conjunction with a Nominee Shareholders Agreement in the form of a Trust Deed which formalises the relationship between ourselves and our client as your fiduciaries.

Nominee Shareholders Agreement in the form of a Trust Deed:

If you opt for Nominee Shareholders, we will hold your shares in Trust in the form of a Nominee Shareholders Agreement or Trust Deed which will safeguard your anonymity.

There is a statutory requirement in Gibraltar, for a minimum of one director to be appointed in a Company, although a Company Secretary must also be appointed who cannot also be the Sole Director. The details of Directors relating to Gibraltar companies are required to appear on public record at the Gibraltar Companies Registry. Upon purchasing a Gibraltar Company (be it a “Ready Made/Shelf Company” or a “Tailor-Made Company”), you may either choose to act as a Director in your own name, or apply for us to provide you with Corporate Directors to secure your anonymity. Corporate Directors will only be provided upon careful consideration of the proposed business of the Company, and the signing of a Letter of Indemnity to formalise an understanding between ourselves and the client as to the level of responsibility being adopted by each party.
