SBO / BEN-2 Filing

Companies must identify and report their Significant Beneficial Owners. We handle the SBO determination, declarations and BEN-2 filing — a key transparency compliance.

Overview

The Significant Beneficial Owner (SBO) rules require companies to identify the natural persons who ultimately own or control them (directly or indirectly, above prescribed thresholds), collect their declarations (BEN-1), and report to the ROC in Form BEN-2. It’s an important anti-opacity/transparency compliance that’s increasingly scrutinised.

GovYapar helps determine your SBOs through the ownership chain, obtains the declarations, and files BEN-2 accurately — keeping your company compliant and audit-ready.

FAQs

Common questions

A natural person who ultimately owns or controls the company above prescribed thresholds — often through indirect or layered holdings. We help identify them.

BEN-1 is the individual’s declaration of significant beneficial ownership; BEN-2 is the company’s return filed with the ROC. We handle both.

Broadly all companies must examine SBO applicability, especially those with corporate or layered shareholders. We assess your case.

SBO non-compliance can attract significant penalties on the company, the SBO and officers. We keep you compliant.
