Lithuania Company & Shareholder Directory
Company register search for 370,062 Lithuania companies, plus shareholder, officer and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Lithuania company register data is public on the Juridinių asmenų registras (Register of Legal Entities), run by Registrų centras (State Enterprise Centre of Registers). Beneficial ownership sits on a linked sub-system, JANGIS, live since January 2022 under the country's anti-money-laundering law, generally understood to apply a 25% ownership threshold, though that figure is not independently confirmed against the primary statute text. Through the same Registrų centras platform as the general company record. Companies wholly owned by the state or a municipality carry no separate beneficial-owner filing obligation.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you about Lithuania
Lithuania’s central company register, the Register of Legal Entities (Juridinių asmenų registras), is administered by the State Enterprise Centre of Registers (Registrų centras) under the Ministry of Justice, and held 223,290 registered legal entities as of July 1, 2025 — a slight net decline of 9,297 from a year earlier, the largest categories being limited liability companies (UAB, 100,056), small partnerships (MB, 60,038), and sole proprietorships (16,990). A single-day statistical anomaly worth flagging: on January 2, 2025, a record 9,511 legal entities were struck off the register in one day, the mechanical result of a Civil Code change requiring entities already in “liquidating” status before September 1, 2023 to be formally deregistered by January 1, 2025, rather than any sudden wave of business failure. Lithuania has also built itself into one of the EU’s largest electronic-money and payment-institution licensing hubs, supervised by the Bank of Lithuania: by the end of 2024, the country had licensed 119 such institutions — 76 electronic money institutions and 43 payment institutions — a position built substantially on post-Brexit relocations, with Vilnius now home to more than 280 fintech companies serving over 30 million customers; financial and insurance activities are correspondingly Lithuania’s single largest FDI-recipient sector, with €14.5 billion of the country’s €40.7 billion total FDI stock (50.2% of GDP as of mid-2025) concentrated there.
Revolut Bank UAB, the fintech sector’s highest-profile Lithuanian-licensed example, holds a specialised banking licence dating to December 2018 that the European Central Bank upgraded to a full EU banking licence in December 2021 on the Bank of Lithuania’s recommendation; in April 2025, the Bank of Lithuania fined Revolut €3.5 million — the largest anti-money-laundering fine in Lithuanian history — for shortcomings in monitoring business relationships and transactions, though the bank was not found to have actually laundered money, illustrating the intensity of AML supervision now applied to Lithuania’s licensed payment sector. On beneficial-ownership transparency specifically, Lithuania runs beneficial-owner data through JADIS (the Information System of Participants of Legal Entities) via a dedicated module, JANGIS, launched in January 2022; following the CJEU’s November 22, 2022 ruling against unconditional public access, Lithuania moved to a contract-based model requiring Lithuanian ID-card or mobile-signature authentication rather than open public search, and was not among the 11 EU states the European Commission named in its September 2025 infringement action over incomplete 6th AML Directive transposition — though a further, later-stage 6AMLD requirement around legitimate-interest direct-search functionality carries its own separate July 2026 deadline.
Lithuania company base, broken down
Charts render from live counts. Where coverage is partial, the excluded population is stated on the chart.
Company size, by disclosed headcount
By number of employees on file. Entities with no disclosed headcount are not counted in any band.
Enterprises by size category
Figures from the European Commission’s SME Performance Review / SBA Fact Sheet for Lithuania (SWD(2024) 615 final, June 19, 2024): 95.0% of enterprises were micro (0–9 employees), 4.1% small (10–49), and 0.8% medium (50–249) — together 99.9% of all enterprises classified as SMEs. The remaining 0.1% is large enterprises (250+), derived as the mathematical complement since the fact sheet did not separately publish a large-enterprise entity count.

Who uses Lithuania ownership data
The three checks this page's data is most often run for.
KYB onboarding
Verifying a Lithuania 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 160,334 Lithuania entities have digitized accounts on file, so group membership is often a better solvency signal than a standalone balance sheet.
