The partnership agreement.
A know your business form for private limited companies. It covers the registered details, directors, beneficial owners, business activity, expected transactions, sanctions and the documents to provide.
A short KYB form for companies listed on a regulated market. Ownership is already public, so it asks for the market and ticker instead of a full beneficial ownership breakdown.
An enhanced KYB form for companies with layered, offshore or nominee ownership. It asks for an ownership chart up to the beneficial owners and the reason the structure is set up this way.
