KYC For Legal Entities

Legal entities are created to enable contracts to be drawn up, lawsuits to be carried out, regulations to be ascribed, and many other vital aspects of business and commerce to be carried out with different entities.

The necessity of know your customer (KYC) and identity management for legal entities is obvious. It is imperative to verify their clients’ identity and credentials, a legal entity would not be able to interact with others, negating the entire reason for their existence.

In a digital world, legal entities need to be able to prove who they are and who is behind them in order for any contract or deal or other interaction to take place without the very real risk of fraud.

People can hide behind the public face of the company to get around restrictions or obligations they would otherwise have to comply with.Collusion, misrepresentation, identity theft, breach of contract, fraudulent trading and a vast array of cyber-crimes are all possible without methods of verifying identity.

Traditionally, these methods of identification required meetings in-person to sign physical documents. This later evolved to incorporate digital contracts and documents to allow for a digital record. Today, there is a growing movement to remove the requirement for face-to-face meetings to prove identities or credentials, and to instead move to a model to allow for all types of interactions between legal entities to be carried out entirely online. However, in order for this to be enabled, a safe, secure, efficient and easy-to-use solution needs to be implemented to allow for those that are conducting business to be sure they are avoiding the dangers of fraud when working in the digital world.

Any time a company is established or wishes to sign a contract or work officially with another company, there is a legal requirement for some form of KYC or identity verification to take place to ensure that business is being conducted in accordance with the regulations and guidelines set by the jurisdiction it is tied to. Documentation provision can involve a vast array of certificates or other official documents, such as Certificates of Incumbency, Memorandum and Articles of association, Bylaws, Certificates of Good Standing, Certificates of Registered address, Certificates of Directors and Secretary, Register of Directors, Power of Attorney, Financial Statements, Joint Venture Agreements and any manner of other evidence or paperwork required for specific cases.
