The question that matters

Is the shareholder a person—or another layer to investigate?

Zavia separates natural-person and corporate shareholders immediately. Every company shareholder can be opened as a new ownership path without losing the source record that established the original relationship.

Illustrative conclusion

Atlas Holdings B.V. holds 60% and Sofia Marin holds 25% directly. The available record leaves 15% unresolved, and Atlas must be investigated before any ultimate-owner conclusion is made.

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

See ownership as recorded

Review the people and legal entities listed as shareholders, with reported percentages, share details and source dates where available.

  • Natural person or company
  • Reported ownership interest
  • Official source and record date
02

Investigate supported corporate shareholders

A company shareholder can become the next layer—not automatically the final owner. Follow supported links into its own ownership and group relationships.

  • Intermediary entities preserved
  • Multiple branches traced
  • Shared owners consolidated carefully
03

Understand effective ownership

Combine direct and indirect interests only when the underlying relationships support it, and keep every calculation visible.

  • Path-by-path calculations
  • Direct and indirect interests
  • Undisclosed stakes remain gaps
Evidence architecture

One answer. Four clearly different evidence states.

A shareholder list should not flatten registry records, public disclosures and calculated interests into one undifferentiated answer.

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

KYB review

Confirm who appears in the shareholder register before moving to UBO analysis.

02

Legal research

Inspect the source and date behind each disclosed interest.

03

Investment diligence

Understand concentrated, minority and corporate shareholdings.

04

Use the same evidence everywhere

For analysts, systems, agents and data platforms.

Depending on the agreed implementation, shareholders can be delivered in the web platform, through the Ownership and UBO API, to authorized agents through MCP, in bulk data or as a monitored change workflow.
