Analysis
What this data actually tells you about Montenegro
Montenegro’s central company register, CRPS (Centralni registar privrednih subjekata), is administered by the Revenue and Customs Administration and searchable through the efirma.tax.gov.me and crps.me portals. A new Companies Act (Official Gazette 90/2025) entered into force August 13, 2025 and became applicable January 1, 2026, fully harmonizing Montenegro’s company law with EU Directive (EU) 2017/1132 and the digital-tools Directive (EU) 2019/1151 as part of the Company Law chapter in EU accession negotiations, and enabling fully online incorporation via qualified electronic signature; all CRPS-registered entities had three months from January 1, 2026 to align their founding acts and re-register any changes.
Montenegro’s beneficial-ownership register, built into CRPS since August 1, 2021 and administered by the Revenue and Customs Administration, requires natural-person beneficial owners holding 25% or more of shares or voting rights to be filed within 8 days of registration — though entrepreneurs, single-member LLCs, and budget users are exempt, and filing itself requires a qualified electronic signature, functioning as a restricted administrative system rather than an open public search. On June 24, 2025, the Tax Administration launched an upgraded UBO portal at irms.tax.gov.me, the first service built under Montenegro’s World Bank-supported Integrated Revenue Management System modernization; MONEYVAL’s December 2023 evaluation found Montenegro largely compliant on beneficial-ownership-related measures, though the country remains in enhanced follow-up overall.
Montenegro 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
2023 figures from MONSTAT, Montenegro’s statistical office: of 54,094 active business entities, 99.3% were small (fewer than 50 employees), 0.6% medium (50-249), and 0.1% large (250+) — note MONSTAT’s own classification uses only these three size bands, with no separate micro tier, similar to Bosnia and Herzegovina’s official statistics. Source: MONSTAT, Number and structure of business entities in Montenegro, Release 42/2024 (2023 data, published March 29, 2024).
Foreign-controlled entities
Foreign-controlled enterprises (50%+ foreign capital) represented just 2.6% of Montenegro’s business entities by count in 2024, yet generated 22.2% of turnover, 16.5% of production value, and roughly 15% of value added — foreign-owned firms are disproportionately large relative to their small number. A matching employment-share figure was not independently confirmed to a reliable, dated source in this pass. Montenegro’s cumulative FDI inflow since 2006 reached approximately €14.7 billion by the end of 2024, with over half of the €890 million 2024 inflow directed into real estate.
Who uses Montenegro ownership data
The three checks this page's data is most often run for.
KYB onboarding
Verifying a Montenegro 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
Filed accounts cover a limited share of the register in most jurisdictions, so group membership is often a better solvency signal than a standalone balance sheet.
