Understanding and Declaring Your Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO)

To comply with regulatory requirements, it's crucial to identify and declare the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) of your company. This ensures transparency and helps prevent financial crime.

What is an Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO)?

An Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) is a natural person who ultimately owns or controls a legal entity. Specifically, for the purpose of our platform, a UBO is defined as an individual who:

• Owns at least 25% of the company's capital (shares), OR
• Exercises at least 25% of the voting rights within the company.

It's important to identify all individuals who meet these criteria.

Why is UBO Declaration Important?

• Regulatory Compliance: Declaring your UBO helps us comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations.
• Transparency: It promotes transparency in business ownership, which is vital for a secure and trustworthy marketplace.
