Did someone ask you to sign papers?

Don’t sign any documents if you don’t understand the consequences. You may be exploited as a front man for money laundering purposes.

It’s a crime to be a CEO or board member of a company or an economic association without having the intention to find out how the business is run.

If the business that you represent is not run properly, you may become personally liable for payments and damages. You may end up in debt and have difficulties getting bank loans or rental contracts. In addition, you may be sentenced to fines or imprisonment.

You can protect yourself from being used as a front man. Contact us to block yourself from being registered in companies or economic associations against your will.
