Dear Karen Martyn

 

I refer to your request dated 1 March 2018 under the Official Information
Act 1982 for the following:

 

1. total number of registered companies in NZ

 2. number of companies that have filed a constitution

 3. number of companies with less than 10 shareholders, and

 4. number of companies with less than 10 shareholders who have a filed
constitution.

 

The Companies Office can provide the number of companies with the status
of “registered” as at 1 March 2018 (or another date if you advise us). 
However, it is not clear from your request whether you are wanting
information on companies that are currently registered or whether your
request includes companies that have been removed from the Companies
Register.  Therefore, we would ask that you clarify or amend your requests
in 2-4 above to be clear as to whether you are wanting information for
companies that are currently registered or that you require information on
companies registered from a particular date (which may include removed
companies). 

 

We look forward to your response.

 

Kind regards
