How can I provide proof of my shareholder structure?
If we need your help confirming your company's beneficial owners, just head to your application in the dashboard tab, and follow the instructions to see the documents we can accept as proof.
The documents must contain the names of all beneficial owners of your company and their ownership stake, and dated as mentioned:
- Registry extract [most up-to-date copy, but not older than 3 months]
- Certificate of Incorporation [most up-to-date copy, but not older than 3 months]
- Articles of Association [most up-to-date copy, but not older than 3 months]
- Audited Annual Report [For the most recently ended financial year]
- Shares Registry [most up-to-date copy, but not older than 3 months]
- Confirmation Statement
- Share Certificate / Cap table / Ownership chart [Copy obtained in the last 12 months)
*To provide a cap table or share ownership chart, you can use our example and adapt it. This document will need to be signed and dated in the past year by either:
- A director of the company, or
- Any other person with legal capacity to represent the company (e.g. company secretary). In such a case, you’ll need to provide a proof that the person signing the document has legal capacity to do so.
We aim to review your documents within 24 hours and we'll let you know if we need any more information. Keep in mind — the documents we can accept depend on the complexity of your company and/or the documents you’ve uploaded previously.
