In what situations is it requested?
- opening a business bank account requiring additional confirmation;
- a commercial financing or credit application;
- a contract with a business partner requiring proof of sole ownership;
- a process with an organization that does not accept the registration certificate alone.
What should the declaration contain?
- the declarant's full identity;
- the business name and registration number, if applicable;
- confirmation that they are the sole owner and operator;
- a statement of truthfulness.
Does it need to be sworn?
This depends on the receiving organization or institution. Always check its exact requirements before having your declaration sworn.
Can it be sworn online?
