Most registers stop at directors; New Zealand publishes the shareholding too — names and share allocations, plus the ultimate holding company where one exists. For counterparty checks that usually means no separate beneficial-ownership guesswork: the register itself answers who stands behind the company.
The flip side is churn: incorporation is fast and cheap, so shell-like companies are common and removal for non-filing is routine. Reading the current status and filing history matters as much as the name match.
Registered name, company number and NZBN, incorporation date, status, registered office and addresses, directors, and shareholder details as published — structured data plus a branded PDF, emailed within minutes. From €9.99, no account needed.
Yes — unusually, NZ company records include shareholders and their allocations, not just directors. That makes NZ one of the few jurisdictions where ownership checks can rest directly on the register.
The New Zealand Business Number, a 13-digit identifier issued to every company (and available to other businesses). It is the stable key for matching invoices, contracts and the register record.
"Registered" is the healthy state; companies that miss annual returns head toward removal from the register, and a removed company has ceased to exist. The live record shows where the company stands today.
