Why verification is requested
Most private offerings rely on exemptions that limit who may invest and how an offering may be communicated. Sponsors must form and document a reasonable belief about investor eligibility, which is why intake asks for evidence rather than a self-declaration alone.
What gets recorded
Identity, the investing entity and its beneficial owners, a tax profile, anti-money-laundering screening, accreditation evidence, and suitability responses. Each has an effective date and an expiry, because eligibility is a point-in-time determination.
Status honesty
A platform should show pending, additional-information-required, approved, or rejected — and only ever the state that a persisted review outcome supports. Displaying an optimistic verified state before review is complete misleads both investor and sponsor.
