A real legal office
Companies House does not create a lower-responsibility “nominee director” category. A person formally appointed as director remains subject to ordinary director duties.
UK director appointment information
Considering a nominee director appointment?
Treat it as a formal company office, not passive income or ordinary homeworking. Understand the duties, public record and evidence gaps before deciding whether to proceed.
Four facts first
Know what the appointment would mean.
Independent judgement
A contract may allocate day-to-day tasks, but it cannot transfer away the duty to understand relevant matters, exercise independent judgement and use reasonable care, skill and diligence.
A public record
If appointed, a director's name, service address, nationality, month and year of birth, and appointment details are generally public. Historic records can remain after resignation.
No promised outcome
Reading this site does not establish that an opportunity exists. No application, match, appointment, fee, payment timing, insurance or indemnity is promised.
Verify the provider
Important operating facts are still missing.
The materials available for this site do not independently verify the operating legal entity, company number, data controller, AML supervisor, ACSP status, payment entity, insurance, indemnity or a working complaints route.
A website, Companies House entry, contract or identity-check request would not by itself prove that a provider or appointment is legitimate.
Decision path
Verify first, then decide.
- Understand the office. Read the seven duties and consider whether you can obtain enough information to supervise the company.
- Check personal restrictions. Separate UK legal eligibility from any provider's own programme criteria.
- Verify both parties. Check the provider independently, then investigate the specific company, its controllers, purpose, filings and financial position.
- Separate the checks. Companies House identity verification, AML/KYC and a website's onboarding are different processes.
- Inspect the actual documents. Verify the payer, tax treatment, authority, information rights, resignation route and any insurance or indemnity wording.
- Choose freely. Pausing, seeking independent advice or declining is a valid outcome.
