Niger Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Company register search for 9,627 Niger companies, plus shareholder, officer and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Niger company register data is filed on the Registre du Commerce et du Crédit Mobilier (RCCM), held at the Niamey Commercial Court under the OHADA regional framework, with partial online access through rccm.ohada.org concentrated on Niamey-area filings. Sources conflict: the regional OHADA framework and the GIABA anti-money-laundering standard define a beneficial owner generally at 25% or more ownership or control, but whether this translates into an actual publicly searchable national UBO register in Niger is not consistently confirmed and should not be treated as settled.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you about Niger
Niger is one of the world’s poorest and fastest-growing countries by population, with an economy still centred on subsistence agriculture and livestock, and increasingly on uranium and oil exports. Since the July 2023 military coup that ousted President Bazoum, the country has been governed by a junta under General Abdourahamane Tiani, and a further coup attempt was reported in late August 2026, underscoring continued political instability even as the ruling authorities have consolidated control and pursued closer ties with Mali and Burkina Faso through the Alliance of Sahel States.
The security situation remains difficult, with jihadist violence linked to groups affiliated with al-Qaeda and the Islamic State persisting in the Tillabéri and Diffa regions, compounded by the withdrawal of French and American military support following the coup. These conditions, alongside the loss of budget support from Western donors and regional bodies such as ECOWAS, have constrained public finances and slowed infrastructure and service delivery even as the government has sought new partners, including Russia and China, for security and economic cooperation.
Economically, Niger remains heavily dependent on rain-fed agriculture and livestock, which employ the large majority of the workforce, alongside a growing uranium-mining sector historically anchored by French operator Orano and an oil sector centred on the China-backed Agadem fields, whose crude now reaches export markets via a pipeline to the Beninese coast. Chronic food insecurity, one of the world’s highest fertility rates, and limited formal-sector employment continue to define the structure of the economy, with most economic activity occurring outside registered companies.
Company-level and sector-specific statistics for Niger are scarce and inconsistently published, reflecting both the country’s low administrative capacity and the disruption caused by recent political instability. Where independently verifiable figures exist — such as in public health, literacy and select trade or extractive-sector data — they are presented here; where no credible source could be found, that gap is stated honestly rather than filled with an invented number.
Niger 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.
Who uses Niger ownership data
The three checks this page's data is most often run for.
KYB onboarding
Verifying a Niger 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.
