Confidentiality of Company Members - Further Know How

Terms of Reference

Refer to the post, Terms of Use Agreement Xerqon Technologies, WIX Blog 2025, for early, legal due diligence.

1. Company members can withhold knowledge of their association with a company from the outside world, with a powerful yet simple business know how solution.

   
   

2. Form a family trust, rather than a unit trust. Unit trust registers convey a natural person's ownership to routine enquiry.

   
   

3. Enlist the services of trustee firm or trustee group, as the better option

   
   

4. Incorporate as a stand alone company or as a corporation. The standalone company or the corporation would nominate the trust as the owner and the trustee company or group of companies as the trustee of the body corporate.

   
   

5. The company member who seeks anonymity will be the beneficiary only, and not a trustee. A non-disclosure agreement between the member and the trustee will protect the member's complete privacy, legally. Only a court order may preclude that agreement, as stipulated by the responsible court.

   
   

6. The family trust may even own a contract such as a joint venture agreement.

   
   

7. Place the member's ownership of the family trust which owns the body corporate into a personal, family trust for ease with tax reporting.
