Mexico Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Company register search for 2.8M+ Mexico companies, plus shareholder, officer and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Mexico company register data is free to search on the Registro Público de Comercio (RPC) through the SIGER portal, run under the General Law of Commercial Companies and the Commercial Code, with no legitimate-interest requirement to search — though bulk or commercial reuse of the data is prohibited. The 'beneficiario controlador' rules, added by a 2022 reform to Article 32-B Ter of the Federal Fiscal Code, set a 25% ownership threshold, reduced from an earlier 50%, but the resulting data is held privately by the tax authority SAT and by notaries, not published as an open register.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you about Mexico
Mexico has no single unified national company register in the EU sense. Incorporation is recorded in the Registro Público de Comercio (RPC), legally a state-level function across Mexico’s 31 states plus Mexico City, but technically unified on one federal backbone — the Secretaría de Economía’s SIGER 2.0 platform. The closest thing to a federal business identifier is the RFC (Registro Federal de Contribuyentes), issued by the tax authority SAT and required for invoicing, tax payment, and banking. INEGI’s 2024 Economic Census (final results, published July 24, 2025) recorded 7,093,631 establishments employing 36,592,279 people nationally; restricting to private-sector and parastate units specifically, 5,468,180 economic units employed 27,965,433 people, with microenterprises (≤10 employees) alone representing 95.4% of all private-sector units. Mexico’s informal economy is a defining structural characteristic rather than a footnote: labor informality reached 55.0% in Q4 2025 (INEGI ENOE), and the informal economy represented 25.4% of GDP in 2024 (INEGI MEI 2024) — retail trade is the single most informality-exposed activity nationally.
Mexico introduced a beneficial-ownership disclosure requirement ("beneficiario controlador") via a 2021 reform to the Código Fiscal de la Federación, effective January 1, 2022 — but this is NOT a public register: companies must identify and retain this information in their own accounting records and disclose it to SAT only when requested, with non-compliance fines of MXN 800,000 to 2,000,000. Mexico is not on the FATF grey list, and currently holds the FATF presidency itself (Elisa de Anda Madrazo, July 2024-June 2026 term) — though at the regional GAFILAT level Mexico remains on a routine, non-alarming "enhanced follow-up" track since its 2017 mutual evaluation, filing progress reports as recently as 2023. The dominant current economic story is a genuine nearshoring boom: Mexico became the largest single source of US imports in 2024 ($466.6 billion, 15.6% of all US imports), with non-automotive manufacturing exports reaching 62% of total exports by August 2025 and 77% of Mexican imports to the US qualifying for USMCA duty-free treatment by mid-2025. This sits alongside a genuinely notable 2025 reversal in remittances — which fell 4.6% to $61.8 billion in 2025, ending an 11-year growth streak, after reaching a record $64.745 billion (about 4% of GDP) in 2024.
Mexico 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
INEGI classifies Mexican enterprises by a combined employee-count-and-revenue formula that varies by sector (e.g. micro = 0-30 employees in manufacturing but 0-5 in commerce), genuinely different from the EU’s employee-count-only Micro/Small/Medium/Large standard, so these are INEGI’s own size tiers rather than a directly EU-comparable breakdown. Figures are from INEGI’s ENAPROCE 2018 survey (published Sept 2, 2019, the most recent edition of this specific survey located) — 4.1 million+ MSMEs out of roughly 4.2 million total economic units in scope, with 4,057,719 micro-enterprises (97.3%) and 111,958 small-and-medium enterprises combined (2.7%); the exact small-vs-medium split was not separately confirmed and is not published here as two rows to avoid an unverified estimate. Separately, the 2024 Economic Census (fiscal year 2023 data) found large enterprises — 0.2% of private-sector units by count — generate 43.5% of revenue, an extreme size-to-revenue concentration consistent with the count breakdown above.

Who uses Mexico ownership data
The three checks this page's data is most often run for.
KYB onboarding
Verifying a Mexico 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 154 Mexico entities have digitized accounts on file, so group membership is often a better solvency signal than a standalone balance sheet.
