The ability to obscure identity is crucial for perpetrators desiring to commit illicit activity through the use of corporate vehicles. While Cyprus offshore companies and offshore companies in general provide some degree of “natural” anonymity to its beneficial owner, anonymity can be enhanced through the use of a variety of mechanisms, such as nominee shareholders and nominee directors. These mechanisms can be used to conceal the identity of the beneficial owners from the authorities.
With your Cyprus Company you are unable to conceal the identity of the beneficial owners from the authorities since they require the beneficial owner to be registered with their archives.
To avoid the registration of the beneficial owner, you can have another company for example in the seashells to be the owner of your Cyprus company, Seychelles offer 100% anonymity but limit your trading possibilities.
In most other offshore jurisdictions the primary instruments used to archive anonymity are as follow:
Bearer shares
Bearer shares are negotiable instruments that accord ownership of corporation to the person who possesses the bearer share certificate.
Nominee shareholders
Nominee shareholders are utilized in most jurisdictions. With respect to publicly traded shares, nominees (registering shares in the names of stockbrokers) are commonly and legitimately, used to facilitate the clearance and settlement of trades.
Nominee directors and corporate directors
Nominee directors and corporations serving as directors (“corporate directors”) can also be misused to conceal the identity of the beneficial owner, and their use renders director information reported to the company’s registry less useful.
