Sector Overview — North Korea

Administrative and Support Service Activities companies in North Korea. The company cleaning your office and the company you signed the contract with are often not the same legal entity. Staffing, security, cleaning, call-centre, and travel-agency services routinely operate through franchise or master-agency arrangements, meaning the locally branded operator answering your calls is not necessarily owned by the brand you recognise.

Who uses North Korea administrative and support service activities ownership data

The three checks this sector's data is most often run for.

State-controlled overseas labour dispatch generates hundreds of millions in revenue

North Korea dispatches workers abroad under state control despite a 2017 UN Security Council ban on the practice; estimates for the scale of this activity vary widely, from roughly 35,600 to more than 100,000 workers across at least 17 to 40 countries in 2025, generating an estimated $450 million to $800 million in revenue, according to South Korean intelligence and independent expert analysis. China and Russia are the largest host countries; human rights organisations report that workers commonly have their passports confiscated, work extremely long hours, and have the large majority of their earnings withheld by North Korean authorities, with many workers reportedly admitted to Russia on student or training visas rather than work visas to circumvent the UN ban.
