Company documents
Have the company records ready.
Typical requests can include the trade licence, certificate or incorporation records, constitutional documents, ownership information and manager or authorised-signatory details.

There is no single universal bank checklist. Each bank applies its own policies, but strong applications answer the same core questions clearly.
Owners
Be ready to evidence identity, address and financial background.
Banks perform know-your-customer and beneficial-owner checks. Depending on the case, they may ask about source of wealth, source of funds, employment or business history and tax residence.
Business
Show how the company will make and receive money.
Prepare the activity, client and supplier profile, countries involved, expected turnover, typical transaction size, currencies, website and contracts or invoices where available.
Consistency
The licence, website, invoices and explanation should tell the same story.
Inconsistencies can create unnecessary questions. Do not overstate projected activity or submit generic documents that do not match the business model.
