Nominees / Nominee director

UK Nominee Director Services – Legally Compliant & Privacy-Focused. From £1,200/year with 24–48h setup. Appoint a UK nominee director while you retain full control through a Power of Attorney (PoA). Transparent pricing and documentation to meet Companies House PSC rules.

What Is a Nominee Director?

A nominee director is a third party who appears on public company records as the official director but does not manage the company. You retain authority via PoA and clear limits of authority. This supports privacy while preserving full legal compliance with PSC disclosure.

Key points

Compliance & Privacy: PSC details remain public; however, a nominee director can reduce visibility across third-party business databases and scraping tools. For added privacy on the shareholder side, consider a compliant nominee shareholder arrangement (subject to PSC thresholds).

Important: CG Incorporations is a registered ACSP/TCSP. We do not provide services to FATF-listed or sanctions-restricted countries. All services adhere to UK law and AML/KYC regulations.

Who Uses a UK Nominee Director?

Typical use cases include:

  • 🌍 Non-UK residents forming a UK company
  • 🔒 Privacy-conscious founders who still meet PSC rules
  • 🏦 Founders seeking smoother UK banking KYC
  • 🏢 Startups, holding companies and international structures

Bundle with a Registered Office and Accounting & Tax for a joined-up setup.

Power of Attorney = Full Control

Even though the nominee is listed as director, the PoA gives you full legal authority for banking, contracts and operations. We define clear limits of authority to ensure the nominee acts only on your instruction.

Optional: Nominee Shareholder

Enhance privacy by appointing a nominee shareholder. Shares are held in trust and supported by a Declaration of Trust. PSC thresholds still apply.
