Yes, I agree, it's rather exceptional. It can be useful in certain cases, though.
I cannot agree ”“ personal experience. You just do not get it as cheap as in some another places; but when you run a business that is worth it, it works.
Thanks, can you recommend some good nominee director service? Personally I couldn't find any reliable provider.
I have just sent you a PM.

Honestly, as it is not my service and I am not working with them, I cannot say for sure. Just generally, I wouldn't call their fees very high, definitely not. Yes, to have a nominee in the U.S. is not so easy and cheap as in some other places, simply said; my guess is that the more important treshold (for some clients) could be a due diligence (simplified, it's just because of a reputation risk danger) of the client's business, what is a must in this case; but it is just my guess. I can share the contact with you in the PM and you can ask them directly, if you like...
You normally do not need one. For Canada, you are required to keep your company documents in Canada. But you can print them on stickers and put them behind the fire hose in the closet of the building of your registered address (or whatever, they won't check). For the US, I think the only reason to hire somebody if for better access to banking etc. but I would not recommend it either as due diligence is expensive and nobody will just do it for you.
Well, as it seems to be somehow in the public interest 😉, I've asked them myself. From what I have heard, the price is strictly tailor-made according to what is requested, beginning from just-a-person-in-the-files doing close to nothing and spending on it ~a hour monthly and ending with managing an accountant and a part-time office worker, signing contracts and engaging external lawyers, all on the almost daily basis... In numbers, none of their clients is currently charged less than USD 400/month, the upper limit they have not shared 😉. From what I witnessed, their hourly rate begins at USD 275.
Yes, I agree. Perhaps I'll add as a reason to hire a nominee, if you have some passport (or a residence) with really a bad reputation in the US ”“ in the same time being completely OK personally.
I just set up an account with the Ontario Business Registry and incorporated myself directly with the government: Ontario Business Registry
Well, what I have written here
is still valid; if you are interested, I can send you the contact via PM.
I've sent you a PM with the contact.
