Common questions
Common questions
Is the legal representative the owner?
Sometimes, but not necessarily. Review shareholder, beneficial-control and key-personnel records separately where available.
What if the representative changed recently?
Compare the effective date with the licence, contract and communications. A legitimate change can make older documents stale, while unexplained inconsistencies deserve confirmation.
