Discover who are the real owners of a company.
The beneficial ownership allows you to identify the ultimate owners of a company.
According to the legal definition, a beneficial owner is a natural person(s) who ultimately owns directly or indirectly controls more than 25 percent of a corporate person's capital or voting rights or otherwise exercises direct or indirect control over a legal person.

At INFORMA we offer two ways of obtaining and knowing the beneficial ownership of a company for those obliged to present it:
This service obtains beneficial ownership information from the financial statements filing forms. You will find information on beneficial owners, ownership percentages and companies involved.
In this case, the notaries directly enrich the database, as they are obliged to identify the owners of legal entities and cannot authorise transactions carried out by legal entities without identifying their beneficial owner(s). You will receive information on beneficial owners, veracity degree and participation.
You could consult all the Beneficial Ownership information via web, Batch files or with the API integration.
