For companies based in the UK we will require some extra documentation based around the structure of your company and its details.
What type of business are you verifying?
-
- A UK business registration number. This must have been issued by Companies House.
- A company bank statement displaying company name and establishes cash flow of the company
- Photo identification for all beneficial owners and two directors of the business (a beneficial owner is defined as anyone who holds a shareholding of more than 25%)
- Address documents (a utility bill or bank statement) for all beneficial owners and two directors of the business (a beneficial owner is defined as anyone who holds a shareholding of more than 25%)
- A brief description of business activity and intended purpose for transfers
- A web address for your website (if available)
If more than 25% of your businesses shares are owned by another company, we will also need to complete business verification for that company.
If your shares are partially or fully held by a trust, unfortunately we will be unable to process transfers on behalf of your company. -
- A copy of your self assessment tax return showing you are self employed
- A business bank statement showing your trading name
- Details of VAT registration (if applicable)
- Invoices from a supplier to the sole trader
- Letter from an accountant
- A web address for your website (if available)
- A few sentences describing your business activities and the nature of your transfers and relationship with the recipient
Not registering on behalf of a company?
If you are not registering as a business, you will need to meet the personal verification requirements.
