Why is UBO important?

UBO is important as it is who is actually benefiting from a company's activities. Investigating UBO makes it harder for bad actors to hide their involvement.

Why show UBO below the 25% reporting threshold?

Because the threshold makes it very easy for bad actors that could harm your reputation to hide their involvement whilst still having a significant amount of ownership of a company.

Why is the reporting threshold 25%?

25% is the global standard for UBO reporting, but it becoming increasingly criticised for being too high and may well be lowered in the future.

Do I need special training to understand your UBO structures?

No. Whilst this is usually the case with UBO data, we have redesigned it to be easy to understand so any member of staff can effectively investigate a company’s ownership structure.
