If you are an Individual Investor:
1. Upload Photo ID: Take a clear, un-cropped photo of the front and back of your valid government-issued ID (Canadian Driver’s Licence or Passport). Ensure there is no camera flash glare over your text details.
2. Complete the Liveness Selfie: Take a high-resolution photo of yourself holding your physical ID card next to your face, alongside a handwritten note that displays the words "Leading Bridges" and today's date.
If you are a Corporate Investor (The 5-Upload Protocol):
Your authorized representative must upload the following files through your business dashboard:

3. A Corporate Capitalization Table (Cap Table).
4. Corporate Bank Details (verifying your source of funds).
5. A signed Corporate Resolution of Authority (granting you legal power to deploy corporate funds).
* Beneficial Owners: You must also input the basic details and upload photo IDs for any individual who owns or controls a 25% or greater equity stake in the company.
• Our internal compliance team will manually audit your documents and cross-reference global sanctions and PEP lists within a strict 24-to-48-hour review window.
