Malawi Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Malawi company register data is filed with the Registrar General — renamed the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CRIPC) as of April 2026 — through the Malawi Business Registration System (MBRS). Beneficial ownership is governed by the Companies (Beneficial Ownership) Regulations, 2022, made under the Companies Act 2013, applying a threshold above 5% ownership — notably lower than the 25% commonly used elsewhere. Its access basis is not published in verifiable form. Ownership above the 5% threshold has to be checked against the beneficial-ownership filing made under the 2022 regulations rather than assumed from the general company registration alone.
