The nominee may sign company documents required for statutory filings (e.g. Companies House), but will not sign operational or financial documents with prior discussion and the appropriate level of due diligence beforehand.
In as little as 24 hours. We will require a full understanding of the business or investment before we can begin the service and we reserve the right to turn-down the appointment should we deem it to be too high risk, unethical or if we simply don't have sufficient information to be able to make an informed decision or manage our risk during the appointment.
