Search by company name, registration number or VAT number. Confirm the legal entity using its country, status and registered address, then continue to shareholders and UBO discovery.
Similar company names can refer to different businesses. Compare registration numbers, jurisdictions, addresses and status before selecting the company. That same company record is the starting point for shareholder and UBO analysis.

Built for investigation
Move from a company name to a conclusion you can explain.
Each step preserves the legal entities, relationships and evidence that produced the result.
01
Match the correct legal entity
Search by company name, registration number, VAT number, ticker or LEI in one field. When several companies match, Zavia shows all plausible entities for review.
Country and jurisdiction
Registration number and status
Address and incorporation details
02
Follow supported paths toward people
Direct shareholders are only the first layer. Supported corporate owners become new paths that Zavia follows through holding companies and parent entities.
Direct and indirect interests
Cross-border ownership paths
Natural persons and controllers
03
Keep the evidence attached
Every entity, relationship and percentage retains its source type, record date and place in the ownership path.
Registry facts remain distinct
Calculations are reproducible
Missing branches stay unresolved
Evidence architecture
One answer. Four clearly different evidence states.
Search results are useful only when a reviewer can see what was recorded, what was calculated and where the available evidence ends.
Government registry
The legal entity, relationship, source and record date as reported by an official registry.
Reviewed public evidence
Relevant public disclosures are reviewed and labelled separately from official registry facts.
Zavia calculation
Indirect interests are calculated from supported paths, with the formula available to reproduce.
Unresolved
Missing, conflicting or incomplete ownership stays visible instead of being replaced by a guess.
Where it fits
Ownership intelligence for decisions that cannot rely on a black box.
01
Customer onboarding
Confirm the company and understand its ownership before approval.
02
Corporate research

03

04
AI grounding

For analysts, systems, agents and data platforms.
