# Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs)

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


```http
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](/connect-apis-catalog/product-catalog/creditrisk/documentation/companies/companies) 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:

| **Country** | Status | **Location in the Company Report** |
