All tutorialsWhy a KYB check on its own is not enough
A clean company can be owned by anyone. What KYB gives you, and what it leaves out.
Open the company profile's People tab. It brings together the firm's owners register, the person acting for the company, saved Companies House officers and PSCs, the ownership comparison and group structure.
Fetch the register
Companies House officers and PSCs reads the newest saved record for this client. Choose Fetch from Companies House to save a fresh copy. A failed read shows an error; it does not mean there are no officers or PSCs.
Add an owner
Choose Add as beneficial owner beside a current PSC not already recorded. Corporate PSCs become corporate owners. Individual PSCs retain the register's nationality, residence and partial birth date, where supplied. Adding a row does not verify the owner or start a paid check.
Recorded as a beneficial owner means a matching name is already on file. Review that record before relying on it. Officers who are not PSCs can be recorded using Add beneficial owner at the top of People.
Verify and link
In Owners and people with control, review the owner's details and record verification with supporting evidence. Register control bands are preserved; no exact ownership percentage is invented. If the person is also an individual client, use Link to client. Their Companies tab then shows this company.
A change on the register does not silently overwrite the firm's owner record. Review changes, update the owner as needed, and review the ownership comparison. The group structure at the bottom of People lets you link a parent company. Company credit reports have their own Credit tab.
