Entering into business arrangements outside the UK, or within the UK for those residing abroad is not a simple process and will require the assistance of a specially trained and qualified notary. The role of a notary is to verify that documentation such as passports, articles of association and ownership deeds for example are genuine and truthful in their content. Once documentation has been notarised, the legal stamp they are given is recognised as a sign of validity by authorising bodies in the country of intent.
Within the team at Bailey & Cogger in Tonbridge we have two fully qualified notaries that are able to perform these duties. Operating through Hatten Wyatt Notaries LLP, they can provide notarial services to support UK and foreign businesses in a range of situations:
For UK businesses:
- applying to set up a company abroad;
- applying for a foreign loan or mortgage;

- providing proof that a UK company has the legal capacity to enter a commercial contract;
- assisting with the sale or purchase of foreign property;
