Antigua and Barbuda Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Company register search for 66 Antigua and Barbuda companies, plus shareholder, officer and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Antigua and Barbuda company register data is searchable through the Antigua and Barbuda Intellectual Property and Commerce Office (ABIPCO). Beneficial ownership is governed by the Beneficial Ownership (Automatic Exchange of Information) Act 2017, as amended in 2024, requiring licensed registered agents to maintain and report UBO data on the companies they serve. It exists for law enforcement and international tax-information exchange, following OECD tax-transparency standards adopted in 2021, and third parties cannot pull UBO data from it directly — a formal request to the company's registered agent is the compliance route instead. No specific ownership threshold is published in verifiable form.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you about Antigua and Barbuda
Prime Minister Gaston Browne led the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party to a historic fourth consecutive term in a snap election on 30 April 2026, winning 15 of the 17 seats in the House of Representatives. His new cabinet was sworn in on 5 May 2026 with an oath that dropped a 40-year-old reference to the British monarch, seen as a symbolic step toward Browne’s long-stated plan to hold a republic referendum, which requires a two-thirds majority and has no confirmed date. That question is separate from the country’s final court of appeal, which voters chose to keep as the UK Privy Council rather than the Caribbean Court of Justice in a 2018 referendum. Antigua and Barbuda will host the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in St. John’s from 1 to 4 November 2026, becoming the smallest country ever to host the summit.
The population was estimated at roughly 94,000 in 2025, with a National Population and Housing Census underway whose results were not yet published. Official statistics recorded real GDP growth of 2.5% in 2024, and the IMF estimated growth of around 3% in 2025, driven in part by a construction-sector pickup, with CHOGM-related activity expected to add further momentum in 2026. Public debt fell from 101% of GDP in 2020 to an estimated 68% in 2025 according to the IMF, though Paris Club arrears and elevated financing needs remain flagged risks; inflation moderated sharply, from more than 6% in 2024 to an estimated 1.4% in 2025.
Tourism remains the dominant driver of the economy, commonly described as accounting for roughly half or more of GDP either directly or indirectly. 2024 was a record year, with stay-over visitor arrivals up 17.2% to 330,281 and cruise passengers reaching 823,955, though 2025’s month-to-month performance was more mixed. The Citizenship by Investment Programme, running since 2013, has attracted more than 5,200 investors and over 9,000 new citizens; its revenue has helped fund renewable-energy investment, Barbuda’s post-Hurricane-Irma reconstruction and external debt repayment, and investment thresholds rose sharply in August 2024, with the family-of-four National Development Fund contribution increasing 130% to $230,000.
Barbuda’s recovery continues alongside new tourism investment: Hurricane Irma destroyed or severely damaged an estimated 44% of the island’s buildings in 2017, and while reconstruction programs have rebuilt housing with climate-resilient materials, at least one independent assessment has argued the government has prioritized new tourism development, including two luxury resorts currently under construction, over broader resilience infrastructure such as roads and sanitation. No current, government-published dataset breaking Antigua and Barbuda’s businesses down by size or by formal and informal status could be found; the most recent structured reference point located was a World Bank Enterprise Survey of just 151 establishments, conducted in 2010–11, now well over a decade old.

Who uses Antigua and Barbuda ownership data
The three checks this page's data is most often run for.
KYB onboarding
Verifying a Antigua and Barbuda counterparty means confirming the beneficial owner behind the entity and evidencing where that answer came from, not just pulling the registered name.
AML and sanctions screening
Sanctions exposure often sits above the operating company, in a holding layer registered elsewhere. Screening the local entity alone will not surface it; screening the resolved ownership chain will.
Supplier and credit risk
Filed accounts cover a limited share of the register in most jurisdictions, so group membership is often a better solvency signal than a standalone balance sheet.
