What are Bearer Shares?

Bearer Shares are shares with no name being disclosed to them. They are payable to "Bearer". Such shares provide more privacy than registered shares which do have a name on them and are generally registered in the jurisdiction of incorportaion. Bearer shares are also advantageous in that such shares are easily passed to others without formalities.

What are the advantages of appointing a Nominee Director?

The Nominee Director is normally provided by the Registered Agent, the owner of the incorporation, used for his company. Most clients prefer to appoint a "Nominee Director" for the following reasons:

• In some countries the physical location of the director is where the company is Incorporated. Your "Nominee Director", when provided by Oxley Corporate Services Ltd., is always located in a tax free country.

• The "Nominee Director" handles the annual filings which maybe required in some jurisdictions, such as an annual shareholders meeting or annual directors meeting.

• Unless the Shareholder is very familiar with company documents, such as Minutes, Resolutions and other structural details, it may become very time consuming for the preparation of post corporation documents, opening bank accounts etc. Simultaneously, in some jurisdiction, the director must sign various papers before the incorporation can commence; therefore, delaying the incorporation process. The appointment of a "Nominee Director" quickly expedites the process and leaves the shareholders hassle free and with plenty of time to get on with the company business.

• Appointment of a "Nominee Director" provides a greater privacy and asset protection.
