Implementation Notes
Founders vs Shareholders: In Latvian company law, “founders” (dibinātāji) become shareholders (dalībnieki) upon company registration. The data returned represents current shareholdings, not founding roles. The “Founded.from/to” dates in the source data track share acquisition and disposal, not governance appointments.
Shareholder data availability: Shareholder information is only available for commercial companies (SIA and AS). Other entity types such as sole traders (IK), partnerships, and non-profits do not have shareholder data in the registry.
