Czech Republic Company, Owner & Shareholder Directory
Company register search for 1M+ Czechia companies, plus shareholder, officer and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Czechia company register data is public on the Obchodní rejstřík (Commercial Register). Beneficial ownership is tracked separately on the Evidence skutečných majitelů (Register of Beneficial Owners), created under Act No. 37/2021 Coll., applying a threshold above 25% of shares, voting rights, or profit share, or decisive influence such as the power to appoint or remove a majority of the board. Its exact access basis following the EU's 2022 Court of Justice ruling on public UBO access is not confirmed in verifiable form, though Czechia is understood to have moved toward the same legitimate-interest model most EU states adopted. Entity identity remains verifiable at source regardless.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you about Czechia
The Czech Republic closed open public access to its beneficial-ownership register (Evidence skutečných majitelů, ESM) on 17 December 2025, following Czech and EU court rulings — anonymous online searches are no longer possible. Access is now restricted to public authorities, AML-obliged entities (banks, lawyers, auditors, notaries), and parties who can demonstrate a legitimate interest through a formal request; the underlying filing obligation, governed by Act No. 37/2021 Coll., uses a 25% ownership or voting-rights threshold to establish beneficial-owner status.
The Czech commercial register (obchodní rejstřík) covered over 3.45 million registered legal entities as of 2026, with the largest concentrations in the Central Bohemian region, Prague, and South Moravia. SMEs dominate the underlying business population, accounting for 56.0% of total value added and 66.4% of employment in the Czech business economy (2022 data). Foreign-controlled enterprises punch well above their numeric weight: they employed 1,097,826 people in 2023, 27.5% of the entire Czech business-economy workforce, and recorded value-added growth of 6.1% that year even as net turnover fell 4.4%.

Who uses Czechia ownership data
The three checks this page's data is most often run for.
KYB onboarding
Verifying a Czechia 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 19 Czechia entities have digitized accounts on file, so group membership is often a better solvency signal than a standalone balance sheet.
