Benefits of nominee services
The benefits of using nominee services can be seen in cases where an entrepreneur wants to maintain his privacy and reduces visibility in official records or does not want his name to be associated with the company in question. In addition, there may be a situation where a person has restrictions in performing the intended activity or when the law requires local management, such as a local secretary in Hong Kong. When quick action is required to register a business overseas in the event the client cannot travel, it is often more convenient to temporarily appoint a local business manager. When the intent is to open a business in a foreign jurisdiction such as BVI, Belize, Hong Kong, it can be physically complicated to show up in person. Nominee services usually guarantee confidentiality and anonymity. However, disclosure is sometimes made to a bank or investigative authorities during legal proceedings. The nominee services are widely used for tax planning and asset protection purposes. If the final beneficiary of the full corporate structure is based in low-tax countries, they should enjoy the benefits of the low-tax system on the dividends received from the profits generated. Other benefits arise from the country of registration and are often referred to in financial statements and reports. In some tax haven areas there is no need to present the annual financial statements, hence low auditing and bookkeeping requirements which offer certain benefits if the person is willing to increase privacy and confidentiality and hide their assets.
