Guyana Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Company register search for 27 Guyana companies, plus shareholder, officer and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Guyana company register data is filed with the Deeds and Commercial Registries Authority (DCRA). Beneficial ownership is reported directly to the DCRA's Registrar under Beneficial Ownership Guideline No. 2 of 2023, at a 20%-or-more ownership or control threshold, with companies required to notify any change within one month or face a fine of up to 200,000 Guyanese dollars, or strike-off. The DCRA's own guideline does not confirm open public search, and the Registrar retains authority to issue further guidance adjusting the threshold by ownership or control going forward. Entity identity and the beneficial-ownership filing both sit with the same authority.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you about Guyana
Guyana is a parliamentary republic where President Irfaan Ali’s People’s Progressive Party/Civic won re-election on 1 September 2025 with 55.31% of the vote and 36 of the National Assembly’s 65 seats, against a new challenger party, We Invest in Nationhood, which took 24.87%. The country has been transformed since 2015 by the discovery of vast offshore oil reserves in the Stabroek Block, operated by ExxonMobil alongside partners Hess and CNOOC, which by 2026 had pushed daily production toward 1 million barrels across multiple developments, with more than $60 billion committed across seven sanctioned projects.
Oil revenue flows through the Natural Resource Fund, which held roughly $4.35 billion by July 2026, having taken in about $10.5 billion and paid out around $6.7 billion to the national budget since 2020. That revenue has funded a record 2026 national budget of G$1.558 trillion (about $7.48 billion), up 12.7% on the year before, alongside extraordinary reported economic growth rates — President Ali cited 33.3% real GDP growth for the first half of 2026 — though such figures should be treated as reflecting the outsized, early-stage impact of new oil production coming online rather than broad-based economic transformation alone.
Guyana’s long-running territorial dispute with Venezuela over the Essequibo region, which comprises roughly two-thirds of Guyana’s territory and much of its oil wealth, reached the International Court of Justice, with oral hearings concluding in May 2026 and a ruling expected between November 2026 and January 2027. The dispute’s context shifted dramatically on 3 January 2026, when United States forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in Caracas as part of a broader military operation, transporting him to New York to face narco-terrorism charges — a development confirmed by multiple government and congressional sources that has left Venezuela’s political leadership, and its position on Essequibo, in flux.
Beyond oil, the government has directed spending toward infrastructure and social services: a new $260 million Demerara Harbour Bridge opened in October 2025, a 300 MW gas-fired power plant under the Wales Gas-to-Energy project aims to cut electricity tariffs roughly in half, university tuition became free from January 2025, and healthcare spending is funding six new regional hospitals. 2026 also marks Guyana’s Diamond Jubilee, the 60th anniversary of independence, celebrated with a year-long programme of national events.

Who uses Guyana ownership data
The three checks this page's data is most often run for.
KYB onboarding
Verifying a Guyana 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.
