Our Services

Company formation

Having been successfully commissioned to provide a corporate structure, we are able to incorporate companies in most of the major jurisdictions around the world. Through our own offices and our extensive network of associates, we are able to provide ready made companies, as well as incorporating new companies using our clients’ choice of names. As a result of our heavy investment in staff training and information technology, we are able to complete the whole incorporation process in a very short time, subject to the provision of all the necessary client related documentation. In terms of the structure of companies, we can provide any corporate structure required, in any currency, and using nominee company officers if required. Bank accounts can be opened by us with a wide range of banks with which we co-operate, using any currency which our clients require.

Management and administration of companies

We are usually appointed by our clients to manage and administer their companies on an annual basis. Our management services include, but are not restricted to;

Provision of professional directors

Where a client requires a high level of confidentiality, or where relief under tax treaties is required, we are able to provide professional directors. In cases where we are appointing the directors of a company we always take the best interests of the company into consideration, thus only appointing a company or person who we think is fit to hold office or be employed in the administration of the Company’s affairs. When appointing a board of directors we ensure that the individual members are persons of high calibre, such as Chartered and Certified accountants, lawyers, or persons with a relevant background in relation to the company’s proposed activities.

Provision of shareholder services

As part of protecting our clients’ interests and providing a high degree of confidentiality, we are able to offer nominee shareholder services. As such, this service is provided subject to the above safeguards and duties to act in the client company’s best interests. In addition to this, our clients are provided with documentary evidence with regards to the beneficial ownership of their company, clearly establishing the fact that we only hold shares in our clients’ companies in trust for their benefit. One of our fundamental principles is the preservation of client confidentiality. At Centaur Trust this is much more than a belief and is built into our whole culture and system of operation. Our clients’ personal information will not be divulged under any circumstances, unless required to do so by the Courts of the country where a company is incorporated, as part of an investigation into certain specific criminal activities.
