The problem with compliance paperwork

Right now, your vendor documents live in forty different inboxes.

Every onboarding, renewal and audit starts the same way: someone searches email for a PDF that may or may not be current.

Without Know Your Vendor

Documents arrive however vendors feel like sending them.

One request, five steps

From “we need your trade licence” to a logged, shared document.

Scroll through what happens on both sides of a request.

Step 1

You request a document, by email

Pick the document type, enter the vendor's email, add a note. You don't need to know whether they are on Know Your Vendor yet.

  • Trade Licence, VAT certificate, IBAN letter and six more types
  • Set a priority and a needed-by date
Step 2

They get a clear, branded email

It names your company, states exactly which document is wanted, and carries a single link. Nothing to decode.

Step 3

They upload. No sign-up needed.

The link lands on an upload screen for exactly that document. Issue date, expiry and reference number are the only fields, and they can create a free account on the same page if they want to keep a history.

Step 4

It lands in your vault, hashed and filed

You get an alert and an email. The document is filed under that vendor with its own SHA-256 integrity hash, so either side can confirm it was never altered.

Step 5

The trail writes itself

Who requested, who uploaded, when it was shared and when it expires: all of it is recorded automatically in an append-only log, ready for the next audit.

Drop in your trade licence. We fill in the company form.

Upload a licence when you register and Know Your Vendor reads it: company name, licence number, dates, licensing authority, emirate, legal form and activities. You check it, fix anything, and you're in.

  • Reads Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and free zone licences. Text PDFs are instant; scans and photos are read with OCR.
  • Private while it's read. Reading happens in your browser. The file only reaches us when you create your account.
  • Never in the way. It's optional, every field stays editable, and only five fields are required to register.
  • Filed for you. Your licence is saved to your vault as your first document.

Inside the platform

Everything a compliance or finance team needs, and nothing generic.

SHA256

Integrity hash on every version

Visible to both sides of an exchange, so either party can confirm a file wasn't altered after it was shared.

Questions

What people ask before they start.

Do my vendors need an account to send me documents?
No. A vendor opens the emailed link and uploads straight away. They can create a free account on the same page, or activate one later from a follow-up email, and everything they shared is already inside it.
Which documents can I request?
Trade Licence, Certificate of Incorporation, Proof of Address, Owner ID, IBAN Confirmation Letter, VAT Registration Certificate, Invoice, Delivery Note and Credit Note. The VAT certificate also captures its effective date.
Is my licence private while it's being read at sign-up?
Yes. Reading happens in your browser. The file is only sent to us when you press Create account, and then it is stored encrypted in your vault. Emirates IDs and shareholder details on a licence are deliberately not extracted.
How accurate is the licence reading?
Text PDFs from Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and free zone authorities read very reliably. Scans and phone photos are read with OCR and can be less exact, which is why every field is shown for you to review and edit before you register.
Does it work for businesses outside the UAE?
Know Your Vendor is built specifically for the UAE: currency is fixed to AED and addresses are scoped to the seven emirates.
Is the pricing final?
The prices shown are indicative. Start on the free Starter plan and we'll confirm an exact quote before you commit to anything larger.

Your next vendor document request takes two minutes, not two weeks.
