Landlord / Corporate Entity

Confirming Identity

We must verify the entity, understand the ownership structure and identify the ultimate beneficial owners (UBO) and anyone with control over the company.

This includes:

• at least one corporate director
• All individuals with over 25% of the shares in the company
• Persons of Significant Control, if different to the shareholder(s) or director(s)
• Any representative we are receiving instructions from (a UBO and/or Director will need to provide a letter of authority for them)

We utilise a software application known as Thirdfort to complete identity checks on any individuals we must verify. Thirdfort will confirm their identity, their address and whether they are a politically exposed person, subject to sanctions and/or any adverse media which we must consider as part of the required customer due diligence process. You can find more information on Thirdfort here.

For entities incorporated outside of the United Kingdom, please provide:

• Certificate of Incorporation / Certificate of Incumbency
• Certified Memorandum / Articles of Association
• Certified Register of Directors (Dated within the last 12 months)
• Certified Register of Members (Dated within the last 12 months)

If the shares in the entity are owned by another company, we require the same company documents as above for the holding company(s) until the structure clearly identifies the ultimate beneficial owner(s) and associated director(s) and Person(s) of Significant Control (where relevant).
