Sri Lanka Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Sri Lanka company register data is held by the Department of the Registrar of Companies (DRC) under the Companies Act No. 7 of 2007, with each company's internal share register open to inspection under sections 120 and 121 of the Act. Beneficial ownership now runs through a dedicated portal, bo.drc.gov.lk, under the Companies (Amendment) Act No. 12 of 2025 and the Companies (Beneficial Ownership) Regulations No. 01 of 2026, applying to newly incorporated companies from 30 March 2026 at a 10% ownership or control threshold — notably lower than the 25% used in many other jurisdictions. Its access basis is not confirmed so soon after the regime's introduction.
