Implementation Notes

Address may be null: Some entity types (particularly apartment associations) may have no registered address in the registry data.
Non-profit shareholders: Non-profit organisations (MTÜ) have members rather than shareholders with share capital. Ownership data for these entities will show percentage ranges (0-100%) rather than exact percentages, indicating that precise ownership cannot be determined from the registry data.

Representatives

Estonian companies distinguish between several types of officials:
