Company Management
External Management, Holding Company Management or Nominee Services are considered essential for international company structures and in order to unleash all advantages such company structures offer.
Why to use external managers?
The motives why companies are being formed and managed using nominee services or external managers may vary from case to case but the most common ones are:
- Anonymity of owners
- Asset protection
- Company structure reasons (arm's length criteria)
- Protecting copyrights and trademarks
- White label solutions
- Tax advantages
- Starting a new business
- New start after financial difficulties
- Avoiding prohibition of competition
Two options for company management services
Basic Company Management:*
If our external managers act as nominee directors and shareholders of the company, their names appear on the public company record, not the ones of the beneficial owners. This nominee service
effectively shields the owner's name from the general public thus giving an extra layer of protection. The basic company management option is available for a fixed annual fee. A power of attorney can be issued to the beneficial owner. Our managers will neither sign contracts nor enter into any financial transaction on behalf of the company.
Professional Company Management:*
This professional company management service goes one step further and ensures the company complies with so called "on arm's length" criteria, meaning all management functions (including signatories for bank and contracts) are being carried out by the external managers or licensed trustees based within the jurisdiction of incorporation. A full nominee also
ensures that the beneficial owners do not need to sign contracts. However privacy comes at cost of convenience (owners need to instruct the external managers), therefore this full nominee service is only suitable for long-term business. Management fees would be charged on time spent basis or a fixed annual fee (expenses such as travel etc. charged extra).
