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
- ✅ Legal in the UK
- ✅ UK-resident nominees only
- ✅ Full control via Power of Attorney
- ✅ Works alongside non-resident company formation support
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 do not provide services to FATF Grey or Blacklisted countries. All services adhere to UK law and AML/KYC regulations. We are supervised by HMRC for Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations and registered with Companies House as an ACSP (Authorised Corporate Service Provider).
Who Uses a UK Nominee Director?
Typical use cases include:
- 🌍 Non-UK resident owners seeking a local UK presence, as it helps enhance the credibility and trustworthiness of their company in the market.
- 🔒 Privacy-conscious founders who still meet PSC rules
- 🏦 Founders seeking smoother UK banking KYC

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