UBO and multi-layer shareholder tracing: Mainland China

UBO and multi-layer shareholder tracing follows a Mainland company's ownership from the shareholders on its SAMR registration record up through each corporate shareholder until natural persons are reached. At each layer the shareholder's own registration record is obtained: from the Mainland registry for a Mainland company, from the Companies Registry for a Hong Kong company, and from the BVI, Cayman or other registry for an offshore holding company, with the annual return or equivalent where the registry publishes members. The result is an ownership chart with the percentage held at each layer, the effective percentage of each natural person, and the registry document behind each link.

Compliance teams order it to meet the beneficial owner element of due diligence, where Hong Kong's threshold is more than 25% of shares or voting rights and the Mainland's beneficial owner measures use 25% or more. Investment, M&A and lending teams order it to see who is behind a counterparty before a transaction. It can be ordered on its own or added to any company search.

Send the Unified Social Credit Code or the full Chinese name of the company at the bottom of the structure. The report comes back as a PDF with the chart, the summary and the registry documents for each layer, in the same thread or through the API. Personal information reaches Hong Kong under Fill Easy's filed Standard Contract (Filing No. 202500031).
