What's included
- Annual appointment of a substantive, named nominee director or nominee shareholder for an existing offshore entity (BVI, Seychelles, Belize, Nevis, Cayman, Anguilla, Singapore, and similar)
- Declaration of trust (nominee shareholder) or nominee-director services agreement confirming you remain the beneficial owner and retain control
- Consent-to-act and resignation letters held on file so the appointment can be unwound cleanly
- Year-1 nominee service included, then renews at the same annual rate
- Beneficial-owner declaration: ownership is collected, verified, and disclosed to regulators and banks wherever the law requires
- Sanctions screen on the order plus Tier 2 KYC (enhanced due diligence)
What's NOT included
- Year-2+ nominee renewal ($899/yr; the service is annual and renews at the same rate)
- The offshore entity itself (form it first; this service attaches to an existing company)
- Apostille or notarization of the nominee documents (sold separately at $189)
- Bank account opening (separate post-formation flow; a nominee can improve odds but guarantees nothing)
- Any tax filing or tax advice (a nominee changes nothing you owe; we refer a US Enrolled Agent for US tax)
- Mail forwarding

Operator-grade use case
The default when a bank, registry, or counterparty wants a named director or shareholder of record on an offshore entity and you would rather not appear there yourself. The nominee is a substantive named individual who accepts real statutory duties, not a paper shell-front; you stay the beneficial owner and keep operational control through a declaration of trust and a services agreement. Common on a Seychelles IBC, a Nevis LLC, or a Caribbean company where local-presence optics or banking acceptance benefit from a named officer.
Most appropriate for non-US operators who already hold an offshore company and need a professional officer of record for banking, vendor onboarding, or registry filings. It pairs naturally with the offshore IBC and LLC SKUs and with the Banking Introduction, where a named director materially improves a compliance desk's read of the file.
Less ideal for operators chasing anonymity. This is professional administration, not invisibility: beneficial ownership is still collected, verified, and disclosed to regulators and banks wherever the law requires, and Tier 2 enhanced due diligence applies. If your goal is a cheap private US entity rather than a named offshore officer, an anonymous New Mexico LLC fits better.

Common questions
- Is the nominee a real person or a paper front?
- A substantive named individual who accepts genuine statutory duties on your filing, not a shell-front. You remain the beneficial owner through a declaration of trust and a services agreement, and you keep operational control.
- Does a nominee make me anonymous?
- No. This is professional administration, not anonymity. Beneficial ownership is still collected, verified, and disclosed to regulators and banks wherever the law requires, and the service carries Tier 2 enhanced due diligence. It changes who is on record, not who is reportable.
- What does it cost and how do I pay?
- $899/yr all-in, settled in BTC (on-chain or Lightning) or USDT via BitSettle. The service is annual and renews at the same $899/yr rate.
- Does a nominee reduce my taxes?
- No. A nominee changes nothing you owe; your tax depends on your residence and the entity's facts. We form and administer; we do not file taxes. We can refer a US Enrolled Agent for US tax.
