Libya Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Libya company register data is filed on the Sijil al-Tijari (Commercial Registry), administered by the Ministry of Economy and Trade. No operational public UBO registry could be confirmed; ownership changes are reported to the Commercial Registry itself rather than to any separate beneficial-ownership filing. One notable structural rule outside the general registry: limited liability companies must have between two and fifty shareholders, no single natural person may hold more than 10% of an LLC's capital, and foreign investors need either a local partner holding 51% or a license under the Foreign Investment Law to hold 100% themselves.
