Poland Company & Shareholder Directory
Company register search for 876,207 Poland companies, plus shareholder, officer and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Poland company register data is public on the Krajowy Rejestr Sądowy (KRS, National Court Register), searchable free through biznes.gov.pl — though shareholders of joint-stock companies (S.A.) are not published in the KRS itself, held instead in a private share book or the central securities depository. Beneficial ownership sits on a separate register, the Centralny Rejestr Beneficjentów Rzeczywistych (CRBR, Central Register of Beneficial Owners), launched in October 2019 by the Ministry of Finance. Currently yes, though implementation of EU Directive 2024/1640 is under way to move it to a justified-interest access model, a change in progress rather than finished as of this writing.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you about Poland
Poland’s Central Register of Beneficial Owners (CRBR, Centralny Rejestr Beneficjentów Rzeczywistych) is, as of 2026, still a genuinely open register — anyone can search a company’s declared beneficial owners, including full names and PESEL numbers, free of charge on the Ministry of Finance’s gov.pl portal. That openness is under active legislative review: draft amendments aligning Poland with the EU’s Sixth Anti-Money Laundering Directive (6AMLD) would replace open search with a tiered ‘legitimate interest’ access model, the same path France and several other member states have already taken. For now, CRBR remains one of the more directly verifiable UBO registers in the EU, though every filing should be treated as time-sensitive given the pending change.
The underlying business population is large but overwhelmingly small: the REGON register held 5.44 million registered entities at the end of December 2025, though only around 2.79 million of those were active non-financial enterprises. Micro businesses (fewer than 10 employees) made up 97.2% of that active population, with small (2.0%), medium (0.6%) and large enterprises (0.2%) accounting for the rest — yet employment is far more evenly spread, with large enterprises alone employing 32.5% of the workforce against 37.2% in micro firms. Foreign capital reaches a modest but economically consequential slice of the register: 26.7 thousand enterprises with foreign capital were active in 2024, holding a combined 280.8 billion PLN in foreign capital value.

Foreign-controlled entities
Approx. 1.0% of active non-financial enterprises had foreign capital in 2024 — 26.7 thousand enterprises out of a base of roughly 2.79 million active non-financial enterprises, holding a combined 280.8 billion PLN in foreign capital value.
Who uses Poland ownership data
The three checks this page's data is most often run for.
KYB onboarding
Verifying a Poland 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 48,127 Poland entities have digitized accounts on file, so group membership is often a better solvency signal than a standalone balance sheet.
