No. You don't have to be the authorized person yourself to own or manage a project. However, it is essential that the authorization matches the person or organization that ultimately receives the funds.
What does that mean, specifically?
- The project owner (Startnext roles in the project team) may be a different person than the one who verifies their identity.
- However, the person providing identification must have access to all necessary documents and information.
Important: The account holder and the authorized entity must match
The following applies to the payout: The account holder and the authorized entity must be the same person.
Example:
- It is not possible to validate a GbR and transfer the funding amount to a personal account.
- In this case, payment may only be made to a GbR account.
