Why providing these documents?

Certificate of incorporation

The certificate of incorporation is a document issued by the clerk of the competent Commercial court.

The incorporation proves the existence of the company’s legal personality and the creation of the business capital for individual companies.

This document enables us to verify that a company actually exists and that the information provided is accurate.

This applies to the following companies, among others:

-           Limited companies,

-           European companies,

-           Limited liability partnerships,

-           Public limited companies.

Articles of association or incorporating document of a company

The articles of association can be a notarial deed or a private agreement.

Professional bank account identification document (RIB/IBAN)

The bank account to which collected funds will be allocated must be in the name of the seller (company or individual). The professional bank account identification document (RIB/IBAN) enables us to check the identity of the account holder and to have the bank details necessary to transfer money.

As a rule, the bank account must have been opened in an institution established in the country where the seller is located.
