Documentation

The Beneficial Ownership API helps identify and verify the individuals who ultimately control or benefit from a company, even if not officially listed as shareholders or board members. These are the real decision-makers, often holding influence through direct ownership or indirect means such as agreements or proxies. Gaining insight into beneficial owners strengthens your risk assessments and ensures compliance with global AML and KYC regulations.

Roaring offers access to beneficial ownership data in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. The service includes details on the nature of control and ownership structure, and offers both current and historical views of beneficial ownership.

Key Features:

  • Identify current beneficial owners of a company.
  • Retrieve beneficial ownership history based on a company’s organisation number.
  • Access all companies a specific person is a beneficial owner of.
  • Understand how control is exercised, including indirect ownership and influence.

Use Case:

A financial services provider uses the Beneficial Ownership API during onboarding to instantly verify who really controls a new client company.
