    The problem

    A clean company name can hide a risky owner

    KYB verification confirms that a business exists and documents the ownership and control information available from reliable registries, filings, and public sources. ScreenVeritAI maps the chain it can support with evidence and flags gaps that still need analyst review.

    Name-only screening stops at the legal entity. Ownership risk often sits behind a holding company, nominee, director, or offshore vehicle. UBO discovery follows those relationships until the natural people exercising ownership or control become visible.

    The resulting dossier connects each ownership finding to its source and applies sanctions, PEP, criminal watchlist, and adverse media screening to the related parties the investigation identifies.

    The ownership blind spot

    The company clears. Its controller does not.

    A company can return no direct sanctions match while an owner, director, or controlling person requires review. Entity screening and ownership verification answer different questions — a defensible KYB process needs both.

    A basic company lookup can produce a clean result because the legal entity is not the listed party. The relevant signal may attach to a shareholder behind an intermediate vehicle, a director, or the natural person exercising control.

    ScreenVeritAI maps that chain, records the relationship, and screens the surfaced parties against the same compliance domains used for direct checks. The analyst sees both the corporate structure and the risk signal in one point-in-time file.

    If you only screened the company name, would you see the person behind it?

    From company name to screened beneficial owner

    One workflow reconstructs the ownership structure, resolves the people exercising control, screens the related parties, and preserves the evidence.

    01

    Resolve the ownership chain

    Reconstruct parent companies, holding entities, subsidiaries, shareholdings, and control relationships as a source-backed graph. Follow the chain beyond intermediate companies until the people exercising ownership or control become visible.

    03

    Name every surfaced related person for screening

    Identified owners, directors, and controllers are written into the report as named screening referrals, each with cited evidence and its ownership relationship attached — so analysts can see why each person matters and run each referral as its own sanctions, PEP and criminal-watchlist check.

    Preserve the KYB evidence

    Export a dated PDF dossier containing the ownership graph, identified beneficial owners and directors, related entities, screening outcomes, and cited sources. The file records what was known when the decision was made.

    Frequently asked questions

    Q.01What is KYB verification?
    Know Your Business (KYB) verification confirms that a company exists, establishes its ownership and control structure, identifies the ultimate beneficial owners and relevant directors, and checks the business and related people for compliance risk. It is the company-side counterpart to KYC and creates an evidence trail for onboarding and due diligence decisions.
    Q.02What's included in each Deep Research tier?
    Full Search is a focused single-entity dossier verifying one company and its key findings. Deep Research Report adds ownership structure, an adverse-media investigation, and names the related people and companies it finds as screening referrals you can run as their own checks. Prices are €5.90 and €14.90 respectively, public pay-as-you-go rates with no platform fee.
    Q.03How does UBO discovery work?
    The platform maps the company's ownership and control structure as a graph — parent and holding entities, subsidiaries, and the shareholding relationships between them. Following those relationships upward resolves the ultimate beneficial owners: the natural persons who own or control the business once the corporate layers are stripped away. Because the structure is a graph rather than a flat lookup, an intermediate holding company or offshore vehicle that would hide an owner from a name-only check appears as a visible node on the path, with its stake and relationship shown, so you can see where control actually sits.
    Q.04What entity coverage do you have?
    Verification reconstructs the company, its owners and controllers, its directors and officers, and the related entities in its group from public sources, then screens the related people against the platform's sanctions sources, its dedicated PEP domain of 750,000+ structured records, and its criminal watchlists. Registry detail varies by jurisdiction, so complex cross-border structures may require additional analyst review outside the self-serve offer.
    Q.05What format is the report delivered in?
    Every verification is exported as a point-in-time PDF dossier that reproduces the result exactly as it stood on the date of the check — it is never recalculated. The dossier records the ownership graph, the beneficial owners and directors, the related entities, and the screening outcomes for the people behind the company, with their sources. It is a dated, self-contained artefact designed for an auditor, regulator, or investment committee, and it remains defensible months or years later when a past decision is questioned.
    Q.06How long does a KYB check take?
    A KYB and UBO verification is a research task, not an instant lookup, so it runs as a job and returns a completed dossier rather than a real-time result. Turnaround depends on the tier and the complexity of the ownership structure. You submit the company, the platform performs the investigation, and you retrieve the finished point-in-time PDF when it is ready.
