LETA

The Belgian precedent

We built and operated UBO register infrastructure in Belgium for seven years. Switzerland's register follows a path Europe has already walked — and the lessons transfer directly.

Seven years inside a live register

We know how transparency registers behave in production: the edge cases, the document gaps, the resubmissions, and the deadlines that catch entities out.

A tighter deadline structure

Switzerland's transitional windows are measured in months — three to six for most existing entities, with a two-year window only where the beneficial owners are already in the commercial register.

What transfers

The determination logic, the document checklist, and the discrepancy-handling patterns are portable across registers. We start from a working playbook, not a blank page.
