Moldova Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Company register search for 284,279 Moldova companies, plus shareholder, officer and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Moldova company register data is public on the State Register of Legal Entities, operated by the Public Services Agency (ASP), with extracts showing founders and shareholders available directly. Beneficial ownership is integrated into the same register under Law No. 308 of 2017, as amended in 2023 to align with EU anti-money-laundering rules, at a 25% ownership threshold, with mandatory reporting for all legal entities extended to a deadline of 31 December 2025. It sits on the same publicly accessible register as the general shareholder record. The ASP will not register any later corporate amendment for a company that has not filed a valid beneficial-ownership declaration.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you about Moldova
Moldova’s central company register, the State Register of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs, is administered by the Public Services Agency (Agenţia Servicii Publice, ASP), following a merger of the former State Registration Chamber into ASP. The National Bureau of Statistics counted 68.7 thousand active reporting enterprises in 2024 (excluding the Transnistria region, outside central government control), of which 99.2% were classified as SMEs, employing 65.5% of the workforce and generating 46.1% of total economy-wide sales revenue — a genuinely SME-dominated economy even by regional standards. Moldova is a MONEYVAL member state with a notably clean recent compliance record: its 2nd Enhanced Follow-up Report, adopted at MONEYVAL’s 67th Plenary in May 2024, rated Moldova compliant or largely compliant on 37 of 40 FATF Recommendations (9 compliant, 28 largely compliant, 3 partially compliant, none non-compliant), with Moldova never having appeared on the FATF’s grey list; the main remaining gap flagged is limited progress on virtual-asset service provider regulation, and Moldova’s next full mutual evaluation is scheduled for April 2028.
Moldova has required legal entities, individual entrepreneurs, and non-commercial organisations to file a beneficial-owner declaration with ASP under Law No. 308/2017 (amended by Law No. 66/2023, which updated the 25%-plus-one-share beneficial-ownership threshold), with a filing and update deadline of December 31, 2025 for existing entities and free online submission — explicitly framed by the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization as part of Moldova’s broader alignment with EU legal frameworks ahead of accession. That accession process has moved with real momentum: Moldova was granted EU candidate status in June 2022, opened formal accession negotiations in June 2024, completed bilateral screening on September 22, 2025, and opened its first negotiating cluster (“Fundamentals”) on June 15, 2026, with the government targeting provisional closure of negotiations by early 2028. Remittances from Moldova’s large diaspora — concentrated in Italy, Germany, and Romania — remain one of the highest shares of GDP in Europe, estimated at 10.5% of GDP in 2024 (around $1.9 billion) after 12.2% in 2023, a structural feature of the economy worth understanding before assessing any Moldovan household- or consumer-facing business.

Enterprises by size category
The National Bureau of Statistics of Moldova’s 2024 SME report classifies 99.2% of the country’s 68.7 thousand active reporting enterprises as SMEs (micro, small, and medium combined, i.e. up to 249 employees), with the remaining 0.8% large enterprises (250+); SMEs accounted for 65.5% of average employment and 46.1% of total sales revenue that year. A further breakdown into separate micro/small/medium bands was not independently confirmed against BNS’s published press release and is not presented as separate rows here.

Who uses Moldova ownership data
The three checks this page's data is most often run for.
KYB onboarding
Verifying a Moldova 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 2 Moldova entities have digitized accounts on file, so group membership is often a better solvency signal than a standalone balance sheet.
