OffshoreGuy

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

We list what's not included on every product page so there are no checkout surprises.

When to choose this product

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.

FAQ

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.
