National totals come from the dedicated United States by state sheet and differ slightly from the global company snapshot. A company can appear in more than one jurisdiction, so state or province counts must not be added to calculate the national total. Attribute counts follow the source column labels; they are not completeness percentages.

global ultimate owner
A global ultimate owner is a corporate group concept. It does not, by itself, establish a natural-person beneficial owner.

Know where it comes from.
Official business registries, tax authorities and other government registers, organised by jurisdiction.
Business registries and tax authorities provide the company record foundation.
Shareholders, directors and financial fields are available where the underlying records contain them.
Contact details, digital profiles and some employee data come from additional sources.

Q4 2026 coverage snapshot, published on 8 November 2026.
What does “company records” include?
The global Company statistics sheet contains 363,962,340 records across 199 countries and territories, including active and other recorded statuses. This page uses that supplied snapshot; it does not substitute the broader company-count headline used elsewhere on the site.
Are all 199 million reported active records confirmed active?
No. The global sheet reports 199,072,378 as active, including 14,180,099 records across 125 markets where entity status is not published. Those markets are labelled “Status not published” here. Their reported active count equals total records and must not be read as confirmation that every company is active.
The UAE active figure is an approximate public benchmark of 1.4 million operating companies at end-2025; Bahrain’s 96,331 figure is an April 2026 public benchmark. The workbook cites public reporting for these figures. Oman, Qatar and Jordan do not have an official active count in this snapshot.
Why do the US and Canadian totals differ between sections?
The country view preserves the global Company statistics sheet: United States 119,128,344; Canada 16,158,488. The regional view preserves its own national deduplicated totals: United States 119,146,961; Canada 16,167,159. The workbook does not state a common extraction date for these datasets. Regional rows can overlap and must not be summed to replace national totals.
What do field coverage counts mean?
They count companies with at least one populated value for the named field. Shareholders and officers count companies with at least one filed shareholder or officer; they are not counts of people. A blank is “Not reported”; zero means the workbook explicitly reports zero. Field populations vary, particularly in the regional tabs, so this page does not turn them into completeness percentages.
Official-filing employee counts and additional-source employee counts can overlap. They must not be added to derive the “any source” field. Regional attribute values are reproduced as supplied, including rows where a field count exceeds the status population named in its column heading.
Is corporate linkage the same as beneficial ownership?
No. The corporate linkage sheet counts 40,210,132 companies with an identified global ultimate owner across 213 markets. The global ultimate owner sits at the top of a corporate group; it can be a legal entity. This figure is not a count of unique groups, ownership links, or verified individual UBOs. It is a separate population from the global company statistics.
How were the figures and sources prepared?
The page uses only Company statistics, United States by state, Canada by province, Corporate linkage stats and Sources from the supplied Q4 coverage workbook. Values are retained at source precision. Each export includes the rows in the current filtered view. The globe uses geographic reference data solely for navigation.
Map geometry: Natural Earth via world-atlas. Country coordinates: mledoze/countries (ODbL 1.0), available as coordinate data. Borders are for navigation and do not express a position on territorial claims.
