Certificate of incorporation, articles, and current directors' list.
Banking verification
Bank confirmation letter on letterhead, plus six months of statements.
Site inspection
We visit at least one of your live or completed sites before approval.
KYC
Director-level KYC: passport, proof of address, and ownership disclosure.
