JoachimFugleberg commented 3 years ago

As a: User of the portal, as a journalist etc

I wish to: Be able to see information about ownership, like who owns this company or what companies does this company own, including ownership across borders

So that I: Can get a better view of who is behind a certain company

Related to epic(s): #4

From detailed company view (#17), link to parent company and / or to subordinate unit (if possible including information from several registers)

From the project proposal: Increase the level of transparency on legal entities (impact on citizen participation): any citizen will be able to use the STIRData platform to perform inquiries about companies, combine the information provided by business registers with additional information (e.g. annual accounts, representatives information etc) and navigate through the links to identify underlying interconnections (e.g. retrieve information about parent company abroad provided by some other business registry, information about beneficial owners etc).

Czech BR: when one company owns a piece of another, this is in the registry

sskagemo commented 2 years ago

In Norway, the Business Registry does currently not have information about ownership, only branch-offices/locations of a company. But a new regulation on Beneficial Ownership will require companies to register ownership. In addition, there is a planned work on modernising the system of each company's record of shareholders, so that there will be a single source with up to date information about this.
