Our reports on beneficial owners use data provided by Dun & Bradstreet to search through multiple layers of ownership, whether that is through layers of businesses or across jurisdictions. Our reports will include any person or entity that owns 5% or more of the business.

Depending on the circumstances, you should verify the identity of the beneficial owner(s) to the equivalent standards as that applied to clients who are natural persons.

It is important to note that you are seeking to verify the beneficial owner's identity, not simply that the identity in question is a beneficial owner. You can consider a range of sources to do this provided they are appropriate to the risk posed by the client or matter.

There is no requirement to undertake verification of a director within the Money Laundering Regulations.  But it is good practice to obtain an ID for at least one director or the instructing party, or verification of additional directors where the risk is higher.

Thirdfort has a suite of tools available to you to verify beneficial owners and directors to a suitable level for your own risk-based approach.
