The procedure is a bit simpler in case the shareholder of the company is natural, not a legal person, especially in procedure of opening a bank account of limited liability company. This is because when the shareholder of the company is a legal entity it must list the names of all shareholders until the name of the natural person who is the ultimate beneficial owner.
