About the provision of the nominee officers & due diligence requirements

Due to the implementation of Money Laundering Regulations (EC Third Money Laundering Directive) on 15 December 2007 it is now necessary for all Trust and Company Services providers including company formation agents to register with the HM Revenue & Customs and to put anti-money laundering systems into place.

We are therefore required to ask for a scanned identification of company directors and beneficial owners of companies via e-mail first before we can undertake to provide a nominee secretary and nominee director and/or a nominee shareholder services for your company.

Within 14 days we will require you to post us a recent utility bill showing your real ("shadow") directors and beneficial owners of companies names and current addresses and also a passport or a driving licence.

These can be original documents or copies certified by a solicitor, notary public or commissioner for oaths.

If you are an overseas based client you should provide us a copy of your passport and utility bill with the notarised translation into English.

We can process the order immediately to form your new company and provide a nominee service but will have to file a change of nominees to the details of the purchaser of the company if the due diligence information is not provided within 14 days of the commencement of the service.

About the annual renewal of nominee services

Our nominee services are charged annually, and must be renewed each year if you want to continue using them.

A renewal invoice for the provision of the nominee secretary service will be issue each year prior to the renewal date. If this invoice is not paid on time we will withdraw our nominee secretary service by resigning from the role of secretary of your company and notifying Companies House that we have done so.

About the possible additional charges

An additional charge of £7.00 will applies for each transaction or entry made in the statutory register.

An additional charge of £25.00 will apply for preparation of the letter to your bank and we are charging £12.00 for the nominee signature with the seal.

Should you request it; other secretarial work will be charged out at between £50.00 and £150.00 per hour depending on the nature of the work.
