Know your business. Know your budget.

The part most firms haven't worked out: Before you can verify who a client is, you need to know who they actually are.
Getting it wrong is a costly mistake.

That's what KYB (Know Your Business) does:
  • Work through the entity structure
  • Identify every individual that must be verified
  • Sets up your KYC process

For complex entities like trusts and SMSFs, that means hours of combing through deeds and documents. Get it wrong and you could be verifying the wrong individuals.

This process takes time. Time to sift through mountains of paperwork. Time away from building client relationships. Time that firms simply cannot afford to waste.

In Part 3, Dave and Tim cover the full KYB-to-KYC picture:
  • How to figure out who you're checking
  • What check level applies based on the risk rating
  • How to keep costs in check across your whole client base without cutting corners.

Firms that understand this early will spend just a fraction of those who don't.
