Beneficial owner —
is that the same as UBO
Often the same idea as UBO, different forms and thresholds — what matters is who really controls or benefits. Not advice; honest facts, then counsel/bank.
Not legal advice. Agents can pay and start. Humans stay in the loop for KYC, acceptance and filing. Prices and timelines may change; official fees are separate.
Unravel terms
UBO register, bank KYC, possibly FATCA — different forms.
Legal-person members: disclose chains.

Practice & limits (deepened)
Two identifiable people are Digihub’s gov-seed minimum: real name, role, share, KYC. Invented co-founders, “anonymous” signing or chat placeholders are hard stops. Spouses can be the second person — with a real role, not decoration.
Non-residents found with the same identity logic. Residence, visa or tax residence are not invented by the agent. UBOs/beneficial owners must be visible where identity and register logic require it. Trusts or legal-person members raise complexity and advice needs.
Ident may be video or in person — depending on provider and case. Acceptance/signing and filing stay human. /en/requirements, KYC guides, foreign-founder guide.
Specifically on «Beneficial owner — is that the same as UBO?»: Often the same idea, different forms and thresholds. What matters: who really controls or benefits. Legal-person members and trust chains do not make that invisible. Not advice — honest facts, then a human on the ident track. This deepening is preview orientation — not legal or tax advice. Verify against AJU, gesetze.li and advisers. Entries: found, LVC, guides.
