Public data · official sources
Montenegro public data, at the source.
Where to check a Montenegrin company yourself: the register, its accounts, blocked accounts and issuers, each with the official link and the date we checked it.
We reply on the next working day. We name the fee in writing, in our reply to your inquiry. Scope and timing are confirmed in writing before work starts.
Seven questions
Seven questions you can answer from official sources
Each answer names who keeps the data, what it shows, what it does not, and how to read it. This page links to the official sites; it does not copy their data about individual companies or people.
01
Is the company registered, and who is it?
Business register (CRPS), kept by the Tax Administration on its IRMS portal1
What it shows
- Search by company name, registration number or tax ID (PIB).
- Alongside the search, the portal also shows the entity's registered documents, financial statements and persons. We have not opened a company page for this guide, so check the layout yourself.
What it does not show
- Whether the company pays its debts: blocked accounts are published by the Central Bank (below).
- An opinion on the company: the register shows what was filed, not whether it is right.
How to read it
The portal is in Montenegrin and checks each search with reCAPTCHA, so it is built for one search at a time. Note the date of the extract and of each change; a printout from last month is not today's register.
02
What do its accounts say?
Annual financial statements, filed with the Tax Administration and published by it12
What it shows
- A legal entity files its financial statements for the previous year with the Tax Administration by 31 March; consolidated statements are due by 31 May. The Tax Administration must publish them on its website (Accounting Law, Art. 42).
- Micro and small entities file a balance sheet, an income statement, simplified notes and a statistical annex (Art. 42).
What it does not show
- Statements for the current year: the latest year appears only after the 31 March filing.
- Management accounts or figures for part of a year: what is published is the annual filing.
How to read it
Read at least three years side by side. One year rarely tells you whether a business is growing, shrinking or only moving money around.

03
Are its bank accounts blocked?
Enforced collection, published by the Central Bank of Montenegro34
What it shows
- A monthly list of blocked legal entities and entrepreneurs: name, registration number (not for entrepreneurs), amount blocked and the number of days of continuous blockage, as at the last day of the month. It is posted on the first business day after that month, in PDF and Excel.
- A daily search for each individual debtor, in Montenegrin only.
What it does not show
- Registration numbers of entrepreneurs: their accounts are kept under a personal identification number, which the Central Bank does not publish.
- Why an account is blocked or who the creditor is.
How to read it
The monthly list is a picture of one day. Before you sign or pay in advance, check the daily search on that day.

04
Is the account on the invoice really theirs?
Central register of transaction accounts, kept by the Central Bank of Montenegro56
What it shows
- Data on the transaction accounts of legal entities and entrepreneurs, published on the Central Bank website (Decision on the Central Register, Art. 10).
What it does not show
- Accounts of private individuals, deposits and safe deposit boxes: these are not public (Art. 10).
How to read it
Use it to check that the account number on a contract or invoice belongs to the company that issued it, before the first payment.

05
Is it a listed company or an issuer of securities?
Capital Market Commission of Montenegro72
What it shows
- Issuers of securities traded on an organised market, and parent companies that must consolidate, file annual and quarterly financial reports with the Commission, which publishes them (Accounting Law, Art. 42).
- Each issuer page lists the tax ID, full name, address and a reports section.
What it does not show
- Companies that have not issued securities: for them, use the business register.
How to read it
The site is in Montenegrin. Quarterly reports make these companies the easiest to follow between two annual filings.
06
Is it a bank or an insurer?
Central Bank of Montenegro (banks) and Insurance Supervision Agency (insurers)892
What it shows
- Banks and other financial institutions file annual and quarterly financial statements with the Central Bank; insurers file them with the Insurance Supervision Agency. Both publish them on their websites (Accounting Law, Art. 42).
What it does not show
- Companies outside banking and insurance: for them, use the business register.
How to read it
Both sites are in Montenegrin. For an insurer, start from the Agency's home page.
07
Does it have a Legal Entity Identifier?
Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF)1011
What it shows
- The LEI record of an entity that has one. GLEIF provides its search free of charge and the data under the CC0 1.0 licence.
What it does not show
- Entities that do not hold an LEI: they do not appear in the GLEIF search at all.
How to read it
A useful cross-check for groups with a foreign parent; the GLEIF search is in English.

Where a public check ends
Registers tell you what was filed. Whether to work with a company is a judgement, and each kind of judgement has its own desk in the Schule network.
Screening partners or targets for a decision
A long list, a screened shortlist and a profile per name, before you meet anyone.
Due diligence on one company before signing
Financial, tax and legal review of a target, under a separate engagement.
What the company is worth
Valuation of a company or its assets, on a site in Montenegrin.
Your group will trade with the company
Transfer pricing for transactions between related parties.
To have one specific company checked, not just read from the registers, that is due diligence, and it sits with Montenegro Advisory under a separate engagement. Montenegro Advisory: due diligence in Montenegro.
Questions
Questions about public data
Can I look up a Montenegrin company online?
Yes, the basics, at no charge from the registers themselves: the business register entry and filed financial statements on the Tax Administration's IRMS portal, blocked accounts and transaction accounts on the Central Bank website, and, for issuers of securities, the Capital Market Commission. Most of these sites are in Montenegrin.
When are a year's financial statements available?
A legal entity files its statements for the previous year with the Tax Administration by 31 March; consolidated statements are due by 31 May (Accounting Law, Art. 42). Until then, the latest year may not be there.
Why does this page not show company profiles?
Because the register is the source and its date is what counts. This page explains where each fact is published and links to the official site; it does not copy data about individual companies or people.
