What’s new

Role-aware business ownership results

• Business lookups now report separate counts for beneficial owners, directors, officers and all returned parties.
• Ownership results expose clearer completeness, truncation and unlinked-owner details for reliable UI states.
• Lookup-bound verification responses now retain their business lookup reference and registered business name.
• Full ownership lookups can be bound automatically for identity checks. Organisation-only lookup parties must be selected deliberately instead.
