Go-Impact can also become your Nominee Shareholder to make every operation smooth in Hong Kong. 

A nominee shareholder is an individual or entity appointed to hold shares on behalf of the actual owner (the beneficial owner) to provide privacy, confidentiality, or ease of management. The nominee shareholder is listed as the legal owner of the shares in the company’s official records, while the beneficial owner retains full ownership rights and control over the shares.

How a Nominee Shareholder Works:

  1. Agreement Between Parties
    The beneficial owner and the nominee shareholder enter into a private agreement, often called a Declaration of Trust or Nominee Agreement. This agreement ensures that the nominee shareholder holds the shares only on behalf of the beneficial owner and does not exercise any ownership rights.

  2. Ownership and Rights

    • The nominee shareholder is the registered owner of the shares and acts as a proxy for the beneficial owner.

    • The beneficial owner retains full control, decision-making authority, and entitlement to dividends, profits, or other shareholder rights.

  3. Confidentiality
    In jurisdictions where shareholder information is public, appointing a nominee shareholder allows the beneficial owner to keep their identity private, as only the nominee’s name appears in the company’s official records.

  4. Limited Authority of Nominee
    The nominee shareholder has no authority to make independent decisions regarding the shares unless explicitly authorized by the beneficial owner. The nominee’s role is limited to fulfilling legal or administrative requirements on behalf of the owner.

  5. Termination of Agreement
    The beneficial owner can terminate the nominee arrangement at any time by following the terms laid out in the agreement, transferring the shares back to their name or to another nominee if needed.

​

Common Uses of Nominee Shareholders:

  • Privacy Protection: To keep the beneficial owner’s identity confidential, especially in jurisdictions with public shareholder registers.

  • Foreign Ownership Restrictions: To comply with local laws that restrict foreign ownership, while the beneficial owner retains indirect control.

  • Ease of Management: For administrative or logistical reasons, such as simplifying formalities in international business structures.

While nominee shareholders provide convenience and confidentiality, it’s important to ensure that the arrangement complies with local laws and regulations to avoid legal or financial complications.
