Comments

The ministry of Justice has a Commercial Register site which provides the ability to search within company registers. The register can be browsed by submitting a blank search (space). There is no way to download the data as bulk. We found results for companies registered in 2015, yet there is no metadata or any other means to check how frequent the information is updated. The site and its content have a non-open license.

https://cr.justice.gov.lb/search/res_list.aspx

Here is an example for one of the results https://cr.justice.gov.lb/search/result.aspx?id=1000119598

It shows the Name of company, Unique identifier of the company (1019890 here), Company address, as well as other information such as capital, date of registration, its legal form and names of equity holders.

Reviewer comments

Added details on how to browse the register. Have deleted comment from last year re: foreign companies data as very little useful data is contained within the files.
