Why This Matters Now

Increased ScrutinyDBD has materially escalated review of nominee and control structures since the 2026 enforcement programme began.
Foreign Ownership RulesThe Foreign Business Act's ownership and control tests are being applied more strictly than in prior years.
2026 Enforcement EnvironmentProsecutions are active and rising — this is not a theoretical risk.
Real ExposureForeign-linked businesses with informal or undocumented control arrangements carry genuine, current exposure.
