Overview
Beneficial Ownership identification
Our new service for identifying beneficial owners presents:
-
Owners (direct) of companies entered in The Register of Business Enterprises
-
Private individuals who control more than 25% (independent of share ownership)
-
Close relations between owners, private individuals who control more than 25% and combinations of owners and private individuals who own more than 25% between them
-
Reasons as to why they are considered to be beneficial owners or potential beneficial owners
Why have we made a new service?
-
New Money Laundering Act in Norway entered into force 15.10.2018
-
Company structures can be complicated and difficult to get an overview of manually
-
Can be challenging to locate and calculate the potential beneficial owners based on control – across ownership, roles and directors – and even more so when close family members are involved
-
There does not exist a national register for beneficial owners in Norway (at present)
-
The present service is no longer compliant as it only lists beneficial owners (direct or indirect), and does not consider the 25%-in-all-levels rule
