Details

Data is held by the Companies Office of Jamaica. It is possible to manually search for companies by name, which will provide the company number, name, industry and status but no further details. There is no browsable or downloadable dataset.

The URL https://www.orcjamaica.com/CompanySearch.aspx provides a search engine and let's say you enter Sutherland & Gabbidon Enterprise a list of companies from any of the names will be printed.
