We offer you the possibility of consulting a company and obtaining its beneficial owners, or you can also make a consultation on a natural person and know the companies in which they are considered a beneficial owner, as well as obtaining their Certificado de Persona Vulnerable (a certificate proving that they are in a precarious financial situation).
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.
There are two ways of identifying
the beneficial owners of a company:
The Money Laundering Prevention Law of 2010, developed by the Royal Decree 609/2023 and whose objective is the creation of the Central Register of Beneficial Ownership, marks the beginning of the obligation to identify the beneficial owners of a public deed. From that date on, all constituted companies must include within their deed their beneficial ownership deed. The deed is compulsory for companies created before this Law and must be notarized.
This document is necessary to formalise any commercial business. In addition, when the company has to carry out a procedure that has to be notarized, the notary public must identify the beneficial owners of the participations. From 1st July 2017, beneficial owners must be identified if they meet one of the following assumptions:
We help you to comply with beneficial owners identification legislation.

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
will be able to check all the Beneficial Ownership information
through the web, Batch files or the API integration, in case you query by
NIF. In case you would rather make a query by natural person,
the information will only be available via web.
