ARTHUR D. LITTLE BO
"Arthur D. Little" (KBO/BCE number 0400.509.634) is a foreign-entity registration recorded in the Belgian Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (Kruispuntbank van Ondernemingen), established on 26 June 1965 as the Belgian branch of the international management consulting firm Arthur D. Little. The registration carries the Belgian legal form "Buitenlandse entiteit" (foreign entity / entreprise etrangere), meaning it is a branch office rather than a separately incorporated Belgian company.
The branch record lists the registered address of its foreign parent as Seefeldstrasse 224, Zurich, Switzerland, with a Belgian establishment address at Avenue des Arts 56, 1040 Saint-Josse-ten-Noode (Brussels). Belgian registry data shows the branch’s status as ceased ("stopgezet") effective 31 December 1971. The registration has therefore been administratively inactive for more than five decades and does not reflect any currently trading Belgian operation.
The branch’s registered principal activity, under NACE code 74.131, was market research and public-opinion-polling services, consistent with the consulting business Arthur D. Little operated internationally during this period. Arthur D. Little was founded in 1886 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and opened its first European office in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1957, which corresponds to the Zurich address used for this 1965 Belgian branch filing.
This closed 1965-1971 registration should not be confused with any Belgian entity currently operating under the Arthur D. Little name. No registration number, current status, or ownership details for a present-day Belgian Arthur D. Little entity are established by the government registry and secondary registry sources reviewed for this record.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Arthur D. Little (Belgian branch, KBO 0400.509.634)
No shareholder information applies to this registration. The record filed with the Belgian Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO/BCE) under number 0400.509.634 is a foreign-entity branch ("buitenlandse entiteit"), not a Belgian company such as a naamloze vennootschap (NV) or societe anonyme (SA). Branches of foreign companies are not separately incorporated under Belgian law and do not hold their own share capital or shareholder register; any equity ownership would attach to the foreign parent entity itself, which is not identified with a verifiable registration number or jurisdiction in the sources reviewed. The branch has, in any case, been recorded as ceased since 31 December 1971.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No ultimate beneficial owner is identified for this registration in the sources reviewed. UBO disclosure obligations under Belgian law apply to incorporated companies rather than foreign-entity branch registrations of this type, and no separate UBO filing for this branch was located.
Data availability
Not applicable: as a foreign-entity branch rather than an incorporated company, this registration has no distinct shareholder or UBO record under Belgian company law. This should not be read as evidence about the ownership of Arthur D. Little as an international organisation.

Group Structure
Group structure of Arthur D. Little (Belgian branch, KBO 0400.509.634)
This registration is a historical Belgian branch, active from 1965 to 1971, of the international management and technology consulting firm Arthur D. Little. Arthur D. Little was founded in 1886 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States, and opened its first European office in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1957. The foreign-entity address recorded for this Belgian branch, Seefeldstrasse 224, Zurich, corresponds to that historical Zurich base, which supports a link between the branch and the wider Arthur D. Little organisation at the time of registration.
The Belgian registry record does not identify a specific named parent legal entity, such as a particular "Arthur D. Little, Inc." or "Arthur D. Little International" corporate vehicle, nor a registration number or jurisdiction for that parent. No immediate parent, ownership percentage, or voting control can therefore be verified from the sources reviewed.
The branch was recorded as ceased on 31 December 1971. No filing evidencing a merger, transfer, or successor Belgian registration was located in the sources reviewed. Any relationship between this closed 1965-1971 branch and current Arthur D. Little operations, in Belgium or elsewhere, is accordingly not verified and is omitted here rather than assumed.
