Owner Structure

Owner structure data reveals the shareholders of a business, including individuals and companies, along with their ownership percentages and share quantities. This transparency helps organisations evaluate control dynamics, uncover indirect ownership paths, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

By using Roaring’s Owner Structure API, you can retrieve up-to-date ownership information and monitor it over time with real-time change notifications. This supports comprehensive risk assessments, especially when combined with beneficial owner and alternative beneficial owner data for a full ownership picture.

Underlying data is updated yearly, i.e. share holdings updates as of current year will not be reflected in the response.

shareQuotaLimit

Owners will be included in the response if their owner quota of the root leaf is higher than 0.005.

depth

Optional query parameter, defaults to 0 which means no limit. The request will do recursions this deep in the owner structure or until the quota of the root leaf is less than shareQuotaLimit.

includeShareQuotas Optional query parameter, defaults to false. If set to true, more details about each owners shares will be included. Typically share type and number of shares per share type.

Use Case:

A financial institution uses the Owner Structure API to verify shareholder transparency in loan applications, ensuring they meet AML compliance by identifying all parties with significant control.
