Common Address

Do two or more entities share the same address?

Supporting questions:

How many entities use the address?

Is the address residential or commercial?

Is the address associated with high-risk entities?

Does the address appear in multiple ownership structures?

Does the address indicate a shell company network?

Does the address create additional risk?

NI005 Common Address identifies entities connected through a shared address.

The purpose of this intelligence product is to detect relationships that may indicate:

Undisclosed connections
Common control
Related-party activity
Shell company networks
Network clustering
Beneficial ownership concealment
Financial crime exposure

While a shared address alone is not suspicious, it may become highly significant when combined with ownership, control, trade or sanctions indicators.
