Beneficial Ownership Register (RBO)

A beneficial owner is any individual who ultimately owns or controls less than 25% of a company's shares or voting rights. Companies must maintain their own internal register and file the same details with the Central Register of Beneficial Ownership (RBO).

Any change in beneficial ownership must be reflected within 14 days. We manage both the internal register and the RBO filing on your behalf.

• Preparation of your company's internal beneficial ownership register
• Filing and updates with the Central Register of Beneficial Ownership (RBO)
• Identification of beneficial owners following a share transfer or restructure
