How to Register Your Entity on Our Platform

Thank you for choosing our platform to register your entity. In order to complete the registration process, there are a few documents that you will need to provide. These documents are necessary for us to verify the legitimacy of your entity and ensure the security of our platform. Please follow the steps below to ensure a smooth registration process.

Step 1: Entity Registration Document

The first document you will need to provide is your entity registration document. This can be a certificate or articles of incorporation, depending on the type of entity you are registering. This document serves as proof that your entity is legally registered and authorized to conduct business.

Step 2: Document Identifying >25% Owners

In addition to the entity registration document, we also require a document that identifies the owners of your entity. This can be a shareholders register or any other document that clearly states the names and ownership percentages of all owners who hold more than 25% of the entity.

Step 3: Document Identifying Directors

Next, we need a document that identifies the directors of your entity. This can be a directors register or any other document that lists the names and positions of all directors of your entity. This is important for us to know who is responsible for making decisions on behalf of the entity.

Step 4: Proof of Address Document

The final document we require is a proof of address for your entity's operating address. This can be a bank statement or utility bill dated within the last 90 days. This document serves as proof that your entity has a physical address and is actively conducting business.

Once you have gathered all of these documents, you can easily upload them onto our platform during the registration process. Our team will review the documents and verify the information provided. Once everything is confirmed, your entity will be successfully registered on our platform.

If you have any questions or encounter any issues during the registration process, please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer support team for assistance. We are here to help and ensure a smooth and efficient registration process for your entity.
