Register of Beneficial Ownership
A 'beneficial owner' is someone who ultimately owns or controls a legal entity, either through direct or indirect ownership of at least 25% of the voting rights or shares or ownership interest in the entity.
If you meet this criteria you are required to include this information on the Central Register of Beneficial Ownership (RBO). This legislation came into effect on 22 July 2019 and stems from the European Union and the 4th Anti-Money Laundering Directive. RBO applies to all new and existing companies that have been registered under The Companies Act 2014.
