Economic Substance & UBO Compliance

Economic Substance notifications and reports, and UBO register filings — the ongoing compliance that keeps your licence, your bank and the regulator satisfied.

Overview

Substance and ownership, properly recorded.

Economic Substance and UBO obligations are easy to overlook and expensive to miss — penalties, licence issues and banking problems follow quickly. We determine what applies to your entity, file the notifications and reports on time, and maintain the UBO record so your compliance file is complete the moment anyone asks.

FAQ

ESR & UBO, answered.

Does Economic Substance still apply?
Where your entity carries on a relevant activity, the obligation to notify and, where due, report and meet the substance test continues. We confirm whether it applies to you and handle the filings.
What is the UBO register?
It records the ultimate beneficial owners of the company. Filing it and keeping it current is a standing obligation; we prepare and maintain it.
What if I missed a deadline?
Missed ESR or UBO filings can attract penalties. We regularise the position, file what is outstanding and address the exposure before it grows.
