WHY SHOULD I USE NOMINEES ?

Opening an International Offshore Corporation will require naming Directors and Officers according to the laws of your selected jurisdiction. Together, Directors and Officers are responsible for the management and administration of your Corporation before the law, and their names may or may not be recorded in the local Public Registry.

However, this jurisdiction allows the use of Nominees. In that case, Kraemer and Kraemer offers our law firms’ Corporate Nominees, which can be appointed as your Nominee Directors and/or Officers in your Corporation. This has an additional yearly cost depending on your jurisdiction of choice.

Using Nominees is a good option when you are concerned with personal privacy. However, please be advised that some banks may not be willing to work with a Corporation using Corporate Nominees.
