Business Clients

For business clients, we may (in addition to checking the personal identity of the person signing the document on behalf of the client) need to establish that the company or organisation which you represent actually exists and in many cases that you are authorised to represent that company or organisation.

In the case of companies or organisations based in the United Kingdom, we will generally conduct our own checks to satisfy ourselves that the company or organisation exists.

In some cases (particularly for companies or organisations established overseas) we may ask you to produce certain documents. These might include a certificate of incorporation, good standing certificate and other similar evidence.

If we have to certify your authority to represent a company or organisation, additional documentation will be requested, for example:-

Constitutional documents (e.g. memorandum and articles of association)
Power of Attorney
Chamber of Commerce certificate
Board Resolutions
