Ultimate beneficial owner feature released

February 7, 2025

Spark platform launches a new featured - the Ultimate Beneficial Owner - designed to quickly and efficiently qualify new business for lending opportunities.

𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐔𝐁𝐎 (Ultimate Beneficial Owner) utilises automation to trace a business ownership route all the way up to the ultimate individual or overseas company that owns that business, saving hours previously spent recreating the route with all parties tied to a business.

The latest feature brings the notion of ultimate beneficial owners into our reports, instantly scaling the ladder of corporate ownership to quickly present out users with the people behind a business, the UBOs.

It delivers further efficiencies to users of our platform, expediting the research process on new lending opportunities while enhancing due diligence.

Spark UBOs provides:

  • Beneficial Owners Nationality, Country of Residence, and Date of Birth
  • Ownership Route with all companies tied to a business
  • Nature of the PSCs (Person with Significant Control)

Key efficiency benefits:

  • Higher probability of conversion
  • More leads qualified per day with less resources
  • Pre-programmed checks to reduce error possibility
  • Time saved through improved qualification
  • Key information highlighted for human review
  • Automated data gathering from multiple sources
