Questions before you apply
Why do you need me?
We work with owners who already operate a business and want to establish a separate company. They choose to appoint a U.S.-based director to provide a consistent point of contact for agreed administrative tasks, verification requests, and bank communication.
You take on a defined role while our team handles the business operations. Before you join, we explain the company’s activities, identify its owners, and walk you through exactly what your involvement requires.
What exactly will I be registered as?
We set up the company in your name and formally appoint you as its director. Your name appears in the company’s records in that capacity, while its shareholders and beneficial owners are identified separately.
You review and approve your appointment and the relevant documents before we proceed. Any additional position or bank-signing authority requires your separate written agreement.
Who owns the business and controls its money?
The existing business owner remains the disclosed beneficial owner. Our authorised management team handles daily operations, company payments, accounting, and business administration.
Before you start, you receive a clear explanation of who owns the business and who is authorised to access accounts, sign contracts, or arrange borrowing. Ownership and control information is disclosed accurately to the bank.
You are not expected to invest your own money, receive company revenue into your personal account, or provide personal guarantees.
Who handles the company’s daily operations?
Our team manages day-to-day business activities, accounting, tax filings, and tax payments. You receive access to company information relevant to your position and can request supporting documents or explanations.
What happens if something goes wrong?
We take responsibility for running the company, including all day-to-day operations, administration, accounting, tax filings, and company tax payments.
Your written agreement confirms your role, payment terms, and our responsibilities before you begin. Your dedicated contact coordinates support and resolves operational issues with our team.
When do payments start?
Your $1,000 monthly compensation begins when your director appointment takes effect. Your agreement confirms the payment date, payment method, and calculation for any partial month before you sign.
It is not tied to the company’s sales or profit.
What does the one-hour monthly commitment include?
Your routine ongoing work takes no more than one hour of active work per month—and usually much less. It generally involves replying to messages, completing occasional verification requests, taking agreed calls, and responding to reasonable requests within your defined role.
Contact hours are agreed in advance. You are not expected to be available around the clock.
A bank visit may be needed, as agreed in your contract. It is included in your $1,000 monthly compensation. The agreement explains any required visit before you start.
You can decline routine work beyond the monthly cap without losing your agreed monthly payment.
Why is a credit score of 650+ required?
The 650+ threshold is part of our internal eligibility assessment. Before any check, we explain how the result will be used, identify the credit-reporting provider, and obtain your written authorisation.
We request a soft inquiry only, limited to the information needed for the assessment. The provider and the type of inquiry are confirmed before you consent.
We do not apply for personal loans, credit cards, or borrowing in your name.
Can I review everything before committing?
Yes. You receive the proposed agreement and company information before signing. You can ask the team questions and have an independent adviser of your choice review the arrangement. We cover a reasonable review fee agreed in advance.
Who will be my main contact?
Ethan Brooks, our Client Relations Manager, coordinates requests and answers your questions. Sophie Hayes, our Onboarding Coordinator, guides you through the initial steps. Unresolved matters can be escalated directly to Daniel Mercer, our Managing Director.
What happens if the bank contacts me?
You answer accurately about your identity, position, and understanding of the business. We provide the relevant company information beforehand. If a request is unclear or falls outside your agreed role, you can pause and ask for clarification before proceeding.
Who receives my identity documents, and how are they handled?
Your dedicated contact explains which documents are required, why they are needed, and who will receive them. Recipients may include assigned onboarding staff, the bank, and its identified verification provider.
Some documents can be sent directly by message. You receive specific handling instructions for each item before submission, including any sensitive identity information.
Within our team, access is limited to staff handling your onboarding and verification. Temporary identity-document copies are deleted from our working systems within 30 days after verification is completed, unless retention is legally required. Any separate bank or provider retention policy is explained before your information is submitted.
We never request your personal banking password, PIN, or one-time login codes.
Your initial application does not collect your SSN or identity documents. Wait for the instructions for each item before sending it.
How will I stay informed?
You receive a monthly update covering activity relevant to your role, upcoming requests, and your payment. You can request relevant company records and confirmation of completed filings. Proposed changes affecting your position are discussed with you in advance.
