Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs) are key stakeholders in a company, such as shareholders or individuals with significant control. Accessing UBO data can provide valuable insights into the ownership structure of a business, helping you make informed decisions.


How to Verify UBO Data

To ensure you are retrieving the correct UBO data for a specific country, you can check the schema for the company report using the following endpoint:

Endpoint

GET /companyReportSchema?country={countryCode}&section=CompanyReportResponse
  • Replace {countryCode} with the two-letter ISO code for the country you are querying (e.g., BE for Belgium, DE for Germany).
  • The response will provide the schema for the company report, including the UBO data.

Note: This endpoint is also referenced in the Search and Report Process as part of the steps to check for a company report. Refer to that section for additional guidance.


Where to Find UBO Data

The location of UBO data in a company report varies by country. The following table outlines where UBO data can be found for each supported country:

Important Notes

  1. Additional Charges: UBO data is an additionally charged item and is part of a specific template. Ensure that your account has the necessary privileges to access this data.

  2. Contact Your Product Manager: If you are unsure whether you have access to UBO data or the required template, please contact your product manager for assistance.

  3. Verify Privileges: Before attempting to retrieve UBO data, confirm that your account is configured to access this feature. Unauthorized requests may result in errors or incomplete data.
