Suriname Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Company register search for 22 Suriname companies, plus shareholder, officer and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Suriname company register data is public on the Handelsregister (Trade Register), run by the Kamer van Koophandel en Fabrieken (KKF, Chamber of Commerce and Factories). None could be confirmed as operational: no dedicated public UBO registry, ownership threshold, or enabling statute is documented from verifiable sources. Public enterprises and businesses operating solely in agriculture, horticulture, fishing, or hunting are exempt from the general registration requirement, a notable carve-out from the standard rule. Ownership beyond the KKF's basic trade-register record cannot currently be checked against any confirmed UBO database.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you about Suriname
Suriname is on the cusp of a major economic transformation: TotalEnergies took a final investment decision on the GranMorgu deepwater oil development roughly 150km offshore, targeting first oil in 2028 from over 750 million barrels of recoverable reserves and a $10.5 billion investment, per TotalEnergies’ own press release. State oil company Staatsolie holds an option for up to 20% of the project, financed through a $515.8 million bond issued in March 2025, and the development alone is expected to generate $1–1.5 billion in local-content spending and more than 6,000 jobs.
The country enters this boom on notably firmer fiscal footing than it has had in years: Suriname completed the ninth and final review of its IMF Extended Fund Facility in March 2025, with debt restructuring reached with all bilateral and most commercial creditors, including China. Foreign-exchange reserves reached about $1.3 billion by October 2025, and private-sector credit grew more than 40% year-on-year as oil-related investment accelerated — a sharp turnaround from the currency crisis that forced a 33% devaluation of the Surinamese dollar in 2021.
Politically, Suriname elected its first female president in 2025: Jennifer Geerlings-Simons was chosen by the National Assembly on 6 July and inaugurated 16 July, succeeding Chan Santokhi after May 2025 elections, confirmed across Al Jazeera, France 24 and WLRN. Her government’s 2026 budget, passed in July, prioritises tighter public finances and reform of state-owned enterprises as the country prepares to manage a coming surge in oil revenue.
Gold remains the backbone of current export earnings — roughly 79.3% of total export value in 2024 — with China’s Zijin Mining now controlling 80.75% of the flagship Rosebel Gold Mine after acquiring it from Canada’s IAMGOLD in 2023. Suriname is also one of the most forested countries on Earth, with roughly 93% forest cover and a deforestation rate of just 0.05–0.07% a year, making it carbon-negative and an active participant in carbon-credit markets under the Paris Agreement — an unusual dual identity as both an emerging oil producer and one of the world’s leading “High Forest Cover, Low Deforestation” countries.
Suriname 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 Suriname ownership data
The three checks this page's data is most often run for.
KYB onboarding
Verifying a Suriname 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.
