Bermuda Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Company register search for 341 Bermuda companies, plus shareholder, officer and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Bermuda company register data comes from the Registrar of Companies (ROC) under the Companies Act 1981, returning registration number, entity type, and status through a public search. The Beneficial Ownership Act 2025 gives the ROC a secure search system restricted to government agencies, regulators, and AML due-diligence requesters, at a 25% or more ownership threshold. Stock-exchange-listed entities and their direct subsidiaries are the sole surviving exemption, while beneficial owners approved before the Act took effect on 3 November 2025 carry over without re-approval. ROC data verifies entity registration and status directly; beneficial owners must be verified by the filing entity itself using independent documentary evidence, and where a Bermuda entity's foreign counterparty lacks register access, resolving the natural person means walking the chain through transparent registers like the UK's or Luxembourg's instead.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you about Bermuda
Bermuda ended more than a century of zero corporate taxation on 1 January 2025, when a new 15% Corporate Income Tax took effect on the Bermuda profits of multinational groups with global revenue over €750 million, aligning the island with the OECD’s global minimum tax initiative. The effect on the corporate register was immediate: exempted (international) companies fell 6.8% to 9,791 by the end of 2025, down from a steady 10,300–10,600 over the previous five years, while local companies fell 9.2% to 3,673, per the Royal Gazette’s reporting on Bermuda government registry data.
International business remains the core of the economy despite the register’s contraction: the sector’s employment income reached an estimated $1.88 billion in 2025, about 40% of the island’s total employment income, while providing only around 15% of full-time jobs — a wage premium reflected in insurance, reinsurance, law and corporate administration roles. Four Bermuda-based reinsurance groups — Everest, RenaissanceRe, Arch Capital and PartnerRe — ranked among the world’s ten largest reinsurers in 2025, and the Bermuda Stock Exchange captured over 93% of global insurance-linked-securities issuance that year.
Bermuda’s government has also reversed course on renewable energy: a renewed National Electricity Sector Policy abandons the prior target of 85% renewable electricity by 2035, instead projecting the island will still draw 93% of its energy from fossil fuels in 2030, with a scaled-back path to just 7% renewables by 2030 and 50% by 2050, per Royal Gazette reporting on the policy shift.
The domestic economy is smaller and shrinking in population terms — 63,179 residents at the end of 2024, a seventh consecutive year of decline, with deaths exceeding births every year since. Tourism remains a major pillar even as visitor numbers fell almost 10% in 2025: total visitor spending still rose to $550 million, up $18 million, driven by a mix of fewer but higher-spending cruise passengers and a 25%-plus jump in Canadian air arrivals, per the Bermuda Tourism Authority’s Full Year 2025 report.

Who uses Bermuda ownership data
The three checks this page's data is most often run for.
KYB onboarding
Verifying a Bermuda 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
Only 76 Bermuda entities have digitized accounts on file, so group membership is often a better solvency signal than a standalone balance sheet.
