Bahrain Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Bahrain company register data is public and free to search on Sijilat, the commercial registration portal run by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce under Legislative Decree No. 27 of 2015, showing shareholder names, nationality, and exact share percentage. Beneficial ownership is built into the same Sijilat filing rather than a separate register, with disclosure required at a 10% ownership threshold under Ministerial Order No. 83 of 2020. Through Sijilat, for most entities — the one exception is companies licensed and regulated by the Central Bank of Bahrain, which follow the CBB's own beneficial-ownership regime instead of the Ministry's.
