Panama recently put online their company registry. You can now retrieve the names of the current directors of every Panamanian company, as well as all the company’s filings themselves (minutes of company meetings, details of shareholdings, ownership, certificates of incorporation etc. etc.).
Nice, but you can only search by the name of the company. If you want to find somebody who is dodging tax or doing something else dubious, you really need to search by director’s name.
This tool fixes that problem. I’ve scraped all 600,000 company records, going back 30 years, and indexed by directors.
Thanks for the fix as I was having problems negotiating the Registry site. Unfortunately the registry site keeps stating the database is unavailable.
How do we modify the secretary of a panamanian company? We are in the USA. Is there some form online we can fill out?
Dennis,
I have not seen any online forms.
