How to avoid the UBO register in Europe?

[davideu]

Now there is a publicly accessible UBO register in many EU countries and the rest will have such a register in a few weeks. Is there any solution that could help me to avoid this? Let's say I would use an offshore foundation or trust then would I still have to file myself as the UBO of my EU company? What's the loophole here?

Use a Swiss AG.

I'm talking about an existing EU company. Even if I would transfer the shares of this EU company to the Swiss AG I would still have to disclose myself as the UBO or at least this is what I think.

[ By the way, Switzerland requires you to appoint a local director who is not just a nominee director. I don't really want another person to control my company and to be able to transfer money in and out of the company's bank accounts. ]
