Companies Office

The Companies Office does not currently offer a BusinessData service, however development of new services will be underway in the near future.

Companies Office does have an existing web service available to clients which allows clients to search directly without the need to utilise the Companies Office website.  Learn more...

Clients that are utilising our existing Companies Office web services will be notified when our new BusinessData service will become available for testing.

About the Companies Office

The Companies Office is the government agency responsible for the administration of corporate body registers, including the Companies Register.

What is the Companies Register?

Companies with limited liability provide a framework for investment in business. They help foster confidence in businesses by governing the relationships between investors (shareholders), directors and creditors and by giving stakeholders a clearer picture of who and what they are dealing with.

A Register of Companies that records basic details about every company helps build this confidence.

The New Zealand Register of Companies is an electronic register where company information and documents can be filed and viewed online on this website.

The register is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
