Liechtenstein Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Liechtenstein company register data sits in the Handelsregister (Commercial Register), free to search at handelsregister.li, linked to the VwbP beneficial-owner register under the VwbPG Act. It's restricted to authorities, obliged entities on a fee-paying application, and third parties who can show a credible AML purpose, at a 25% ownership threshold for ordinary companies. That percentage test stops applying entirely once a Stiftung (foundation) or Anstalt sits in the chain — unique Liechtenstein structures with no shareholders, identified instead by founder, beneficiaries, and protector. Commercial Register data verifies entity existence and directors directly; VwbP data verifies beneficial owners where the applicant has access, but private family foundation beneficiaries can sit in by-laws that appear nowhere in any public or authority-facing register at all.
