Due
Diligence Requirements
In order to fully
comply with the Anti-money Laundering Legislation and our Due
Diligence and Compliance Procedures, we are now instituting, and
amending current policies and procedures as recommended by our auditors’
risk reports as follows:
Due
Diligence
As providers of
offshore services, we are required by the law to clearly identify our
clients and the beneficial owners of the company. These requirements are
imposed upon us by the Local Financial Services Commission. These
requirements are uniformly enforced by all corporate service providers.
The following information is only for our internal file and will be kept
confidential at all times, subject to the applicable laws. This
information is NOT part of any public record so the secrecy of our
clients remains completely protected.
(!) Documentary proof. Please prepare the following documents:
1. a certified copy of Your passport
2. an original proof of address*
We will need for all companies
incorporated through us the following information and documents from all
shareholders/beneficial owners
1. Complete name
2. Residential address*
3. Mailing address if different from the residential address*
4. Phone number
5. Mobile number, if any
6. Fax, if any
7. E-mail address, if any
8. Profession
9. Current employment
10. Passport copy
11. A signed statement explaining the use that will be given to the
company. This information will be required for each entity the End
Client incorporates.

Business reference letter, if possible to obtain.
* A proof of address is any recent document where the name and
residential address of the person is indicated. It can be a recent
utility bill, landline telephone bill, credit card or bank statement or
other similar document.
** You can either obtain an original bankers reference,
from Your

see here
a sample (they
will know what it is).
Note that this is not required in all Jurisdictions, but point 1 and 2
are compulsory.
All of these documents should be sent to us scanned by email first and thereafter
by mail. We will not be able to complete your order before we are in
receipt of this information.
Failure to comply
will result in the delay of the incorporation documents.
We will begin work on your company after we receive faxed or emailed
copies, but we can send you the documents only after we receive the
originals from you.
Directorships
In our capacity as
directors, we were reminded that our fiduciary responsibilities must be
taken very seriously as we remain accountable for the business
activities and actions taken by and on behalf of the company, including
financial and other obligations.
As a result, we request that all documents requiring signature by an
“offshore” director must be filled out completely and any supportive
documents mentioned therein submitted at the time of instructions. Such
action will allow us to be aware of the content of what we are signing
and to ensure that such are in the best interest of the Company. We
will not sign any form of document in blank and kindly ask all clients
to comply.
