Description
Hi — suggesting a free resource for the Cyprus / company-records section.
**Entity Ledger — Cyprus** — https://entityledger.io/cyprus
Free, English-language search of 508k+ Cyprus companies with **computed risk signals**: court liquidations (~66k), Cyprus Gazette insolvency notices (~64k documents), strike-off pending, offshore-leak appearances, and Central-Bank-of-Cyprus regulated/authorised status (payment & e-money institutions). It also tracks changes for monitoring.
Why it is useful: the official Cyprus registry is €10-per-search, Greek-heavy, and exposes no risk signals or ownership graph. Entity Ledger is a free first pass for company existence, directors/secretaries, status, distress signals, and regulated status — all in English.
**Honest limitation:** it does **not** expose full shareholder / UBO data for free (Cyprus suspended public UBO access in 2022; full shareholders still require the paid HE32 filing). So it complements, not replaces, paid ownership lookups.
No affiliation requirement — sharing as a genuinely useful free Cyprus resource. Thanks for maintaining this list.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Review the toolkit's Cyprus/company-records section and determine where external resources are listed. Add the Entity Ledger Cyprus link with a concise description of its free search and risk signals, while preserving the stated limitation about shareholder and UBO data; confirm the resource appears in the intended section.
