The Company register is the central platform for making company data accessible. You can find all the areas you can access in the Company register under "How it works - Search - What aras can I search?" or via the search function.

With the (global) search on the homepage, you can search the entire available data stock for specific contents and dates of announcements, publications, capital market and register information as well as legally relevant company data of various sub-sectors.

The search results are displayed sorted by relevance and can be further narrowed down via company or publication data. Via the search results you also have access to register information of the register courts, such as the AD (current imprint) of a company with an overview of all currently valid entries.

For announcements in insolvency, general enforcement and comparison procedures as well as failures, the method of electronic publication follows legal provisions. Within 2 weeks after the first day of publication, you can perform an unrestricted search by announcements. After expiration of this period, a search of the entire database is permitted, but only via a search function of certain prescribed search criteria. In addition, an official publication on the internet is subject to strict deletion periods.

You can find information to search for deposited annual financial statement documents under "How it works - Deposited annual financial statement documents".

You can print search results or documents via your browser. When printing accounting documents, it is recommended to set the page layout to landscape format in the print menu.

An HTML print function is available as well as, as a rule, a PDF document (with the exception of ESEF/XHTML documents and register notices).

The following register content can be retrieved:

• AD: Current version (overview of all currently valid entries)
• CD: Chronological version (with all data as of conversion to electronic register management)
• HD: Historic version (with all data valid up to the conversion to electronic register management)
• DK: Tree-structure of the documents submitted to the register (e.g. partner lists)
• UT: Business Owners Data
• SI: Structured register content (XML file with the AD and CD data for further automated processing)

To purchase deposited financial statement documents, registration and login to the platform is required. You can select the desired payment method during the payment process: Both payment by credit card and SEPA direct debit are available. You can view the invoice in the menu "My Data - Orders & Retrievals - Retrievals Company Register".
