The Gambia Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory

Register & Ownership Overview

The Gambia company register data is filed with the Companies Registry, through the Registrar of Companies at the Companies Department under the Companies Act, 2013, with limited digitization — access typically requires an in-person or agent-assisted request. None is publicly searchable: anti-money-laundering rules require beneficial-ownership disclosure at registration, but that information is not published in an open database, and the ownership threshold that triggers disclosure is inconsistently reported across sources. Ownership beyond the basic Companies Registry filing currently has no confirmed public UBO database to draw from.

Who uses The Gambia ownership data

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

🧾

KYB onboarding

Verifying a The Gambia 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.
