Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Panama Empresas?

Panama Empresas is an online tool used by accountants, lawyers, public officials, and more to validate and compare information from invoices, checks, contracts, and general documents from both legal and natural persons.

Panama Empresas is a project started in 2017 that focuses on collecting and indexing public information from Panama. Our mission is to provide transparent access to public data generated in Panama at an affordable price.

The data on this site provides valuable information for lawyers, bankers, risk consulting firms, journalists, market researchers, scientists, and entrepreneurs.

The large number of information sources we combine, and the flexibility to download our reports, make Panama Empresas the ultimate data source for company reports and any type of commercial or registry information from Panama.

Is this legal?

Yes. Panamanian Transparency Law 6 states the following:

• Article 2: Everyone has the right to request, without the need to justify or explain, public access information held or known by the institutions mentioned in this Law.
• Principle of publicity: All information originating from public administration is public. The State must ensure an internal organization that systematizes information to provide access to citizens and for dissemination via media and the internet.
