Corporate Registries

Official registries turn a brand into a legal entity with named people, dates, and addresses — the backbone of due diligence.

Key sources

OpenCorporates — largest cross-jurisdiction aggregator; start here to find the entity and its home registry.
National registries — Companies House (UK, free, rich), SEC EDGAR (US filings), state Secretary-of-State registries (US incorporation), and each country's equivalent.
Beneficial ownership — UK PSC register, EU registers, and OpenOwnership for who ultimately controls an entity.
Sanctions/PEP — OFAC, EU, UN lists and OpenSanctions for screening.
Leaks — ICIJ Offshore Leaks database for offshore structures.

What you extract

Legal name(s), registration number, jurisdiction, status, incorporation date.
Registered and business addresses (shared addresses hint at shell networks).
Officers and directors → run

on each.
Shareholders / beneficial owners → parent and subsidiary structure.
Filings: annual accounts, ownership changes, and (SEC) detailed financials.

Method

OpenCorporates to locate the canonical entity and registry.
Pull the full record from the home registry (more detail than aggregators).
Pivot on shared officers, addresses, and phone/email across records to uncover related entities and the corporate group.
Screen the entity and its principals against sanctions/PEP lists.
