Before using the nominee service, please pay attention to:
Hong Kong company beneficial owner
If the shareholder of the Hong Kong company is an offshore company, the bank will conduct stringent due diligence on the Seychelles company (the bank compliance review is mainly for understanding the company’s beneficial owners in all aspects). Ultimately, the beneficial owner needs to participate in the bank account opening meeting and be the sole signatory of the Hong Kong company in the bank.
Nominee Director of Hong Kong Company
Company directors should be persons who have the ability to manage the company. In law, the concept of nominee director does not really exist, so as a director you have all the responsibilities and privileges.
Hong Kong company's nominee shareholder
Some customers prefer to use Hong Kong companies on behalf of individual shareholders holding company instead of using the Seychelles behalf of the holders, however, for the following reasons we do not recommend doing so:
- If the Seychelles Hong Kong company as a shareholder of the company, the company can also serve as corporate directors Seychelles Hong Kong company, so you can better ensure that the Hong Kong company’s actual control over the company’s beneficiaries.
- If the name on behalf of individual shareholders but also on behalf of the Hong Kong company’s directors, beneficial owners of the company’s right to control would be weakened – because the concept of a nominee does not exist in law, the natural person at the same time as the company’s shareholders and directors will The company has great rights;
- If a natural person to be appointed to the Hong Kong company on behalf of shareholders, it should have a certain financial capacity, or should the financially strong enough background, shareholders of the company at the time of the survey, it could easily be judged using a nominee agreement.

We only work with small part of the customer after we carefully selected to provide Hong Kong, nominee services, in order to limit our exposure and to ensure that our service quality and completely confidential work.
For already set up a company, we can also provide a nominee service. However, since the historical information of the company registration in Hong Kong and the company registration documents are public, the public can inquire relevant information for a small fee on the Internet. Therefore, if the beneficial owner of the company was a director at some time in the past, then It doesn’t make much sense to use this service again.
