# Ownership Structure Workflow Step

> Configure shareholder declaration, ownership thresholds, check levels, and UBO verification requirements in the iDenfy KYB workflow.

### General Configuration

* **Enable Ownership Structure:** Toggle this **On** to require the client to declare shareholders.
* **Shareholder Check Level:**
* **First level ownership:** The client only needs to list direct shareholders (entities or individuals directly holding shares).
* **Full ownership list:** Your client must trace ownership all the way back to natural persons (individuals) or government entities.
* **Shareholder Threshold:** Define the percentage of ownership required to be listed (e.g., entering **25%** means only shareholders owning 25% or more must be declared).
* **Disclose Percentage:** Select if disclosing the exact share percentage is **Off**, **Optional**, or **Required**.

### Shareholder Types

Select which types of owners the system should accept. For example, if you only want to collect Ultimate Beneficial Owners, select only "UBO".

* **Shareholder**
* **UBO** (Ultimate Beneficial Owner)
* **ABO** (Alternative Beneficial Owner)

***

### Data Collection Strategy

You can decide if all owner types are treated equally or if they require different verification steps.

**Option A: Unified Requirements** Select **Yes** for *"Request the same fields and documents for Shareholders, UBOs, ABOs"*.

* This applies a single configuration to everyone listed in the ownership structure.

**Option B: Custom Requirements** Select **No** to reveal a tabbed interface.

* You can toggle between **Shareholder**, **UBO**, and **ABO** tabs to set unique data and document requirements for each specific type.

***

### Identity Verification & Requirements

For each enabled shareholder type (or the unified group), you can configure the specific data to collect.

* **Enable Shareholder ID verification:** Toggle this **On** to require the individual to complete a biometric identity check.
* **Configuration:** Click the **ID Card Icon** to customize the verification session (see the **Configuring Identity Verification** guide).
