The Business Registers (BR) contain detailed data on legal units, enterprises, and local units that carry out economic activities within the territory of the Republic of Albania. The Business Registers are the base for compiling the necessary statistics for short-term indicators and structural economic developments.

A legal unit may be:

  • Legal person, whose existence is recognized by law, regardless of the individuals or institutions that may own or are members of it;
  • Physical person who is engaged in an economic activity in its own right.

An enterprise is: “the smallest combination of legal units, that is an organisational unit producing goods or services which benefits from a certain degree of autonomy in decision-making, especially for the allocation of its current resources. An enterprise carries out one or more activities at one or more locations (local unit)”.
