Romania Company & Owner Directory
Company register search for 4.1M+ Romania companies, plus shareholder, officer and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Romania company register data is public on the Registrul Comerțului (Trade Register), run by ONRC (Oficiul Național al Registrului Comerțului), with basic company details free to search online. Beneficial ownership is tracked on a separate filing, the Registrul Beneficiarilor Reali (Register of Beneficial Owners), created under Law No. 129/2019 on money-laundering prevention, generally applying the 25% ownership or control threshold used across EU beneficial-ownership law. Access now requires demonstrating a legitimate interest through ONRC's online portal, in line with the EU-wide restriction that followed the 2022 Court of Justice ruling limiting public beneficial-ownership access.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you about Romania
Romania remains, for now, one of the more genuinely accessible EU beneficial-ownership registers: UBO information is available through the ONRC (Oficiul Naţional al Registrului Comerţului) trade-register portal, though accessing it in practice requires filing a formal request, paying a fee, and authenticating with an electronic signature — real friction even where the underlying access right is broader than in most EU peers. A draft law proposed in August 2025 would align Romania with the post-6AMLD trend and restrict access to parties who can demonstrate a legitimate interest, following more than half of EU member states that have already made that move.
Romania’s Trade Register, administered by ONRC under the Ministry of Justice, is undergoing steady growth in foreign-capital company formations, with 1,565 new companies with foreign participation registered in the first quarter of 2025 alone. The underlying business population is dominated by SMEs, with 816,000 SMEs reported in 2023, of which roughly 772,000 — about 94.6% — were micro-enterprises with fewer than 10 employees. Foreign-controlled enterprises punch well above their numeric weight: they accounted for 26.9% of Romania’s entire business-economy workforce in 2023, concentrated heavily in manufacturing, with the country’s total inward FDI stock standing at USD 125.5 billion at the end of 2023.

Enterprises by size category
Of 816,000 Romanian SMEs reported in 2023, roughly 772,000 — about 94.6% — were micro-enterprises with fewer than 10 employees; a finer small/medium/large breakdown was not independently confirmed to a reliable, dated source in this pass.

Foreign-controlled entities
Foreign-controlled enterprises accounted for 26.9% of Romania’s entire business-economy workforce in 2023, concentrated heavily in manufacturing and often controlled from other EU countries. A matching enterprise-count figure was not independently confirmed to a reliable, dated source in this pass; Romania’s total inward FDI stock stood at USD 125.5 billion at the end of 2023, with industry (38.6%, mostly manufacturing) the largest sectoral share.
Who uses Romania ownership data
The three checks this page's data is most often run for.
KYB onboarding
Verifying a Romania 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 49 Romania entities have digitized accounts on file, so group membership is often a better solvency signal than a standalone balance sheet.
