FAQ

Common Questions

What information is available about beneficial owners?
Corporate registries provide information about officers, directors, and in some jurisdictions, shareholders. The specific information varies by province/state. We can help you understand what's available for each jurisdiction.
Can you trace ownership through multiple corporate layers?
Yes. By running searches on parent companies and subsidiaries, you can trace ownership through multiple corporate layers. Our batch search capabilities make this efficient for complex structures.
How current is the registry information?
Registry information reflects what has been filed with the corporate registry. Most jurisdictions require annual updates, so information is typically current within one year. We always note the "as of" date on reports.
Do you cover beneficial ownership registries?
As jurisdictions implement beneficial ownership registries (like the federal register in Canada), we add coverage. Contact us for current availability in specific jurisdictions.
