Corporate Registries

企业注册信息查询

Official registries turn a brand into a legal entity with named people, dates, and addresses — the backbone of due diligence.
官方注册机构将品牌转化为包含指定人员、日期和地址的法律实体——这是尽职调查的核心基础。

Method

方法步骤

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

.
  1. 通过OpenCorporates定位标准实体及其所属注册机构。
  2. 从所属注册机构获取完整记录(比聚合平台信息更详细)。
  3. 围绕共享高管、地址及电话/邮箱在不同记录间联动分析,挖掘关联实体及企业集团。
  4. 针对实体及其负责人进行制裁/PEP名单筛查。
