DACH & Benelux Business Leads — Impressum, VAT & Register

Find businesses in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg by category and city, and get one clean B2B row for each: name, address, phone, website, company emails, and the legal data each business must publish on its own website: legal name and form, VAT ID, Handelsregister (HRB), Austrian FN, Swiss UID (CHE), Dutch KvK, Belgian KBO/BCE, Luxembourg RCS.

Pick "Tax advisors in Leipzig", "Dentists in Wien", "Car dealers in Bayern" or "Bakeries in Amsterdam", and press Start. You do not need a list of websites to begin with.

You pay only for leads with contact or registry data: $5 per 1,000 leads. Businesses with only a name and an address are free.

How it works

1. Finds the businesses in OpenStreetMap, the open map of the world. OpenStreetMap is very detailed in German-speaking countries and the Benelux: names, addresses, phones, websites and opening hours, kept up to date by local mappers. The data is open (ODbL), so you can use it commercially.
2. Visits each business website: the start page, the Impressum / legal notice / colofon / mentions légales and the contact page. There it reads the legal name, VAT ID, register number, company mailboxes, phones and social profiles.
3. Merges everything into one row per business, with phone numbers in international format and VAT IDs checked with the official check-digit algorithm.

What can you use it for?

• Local lead lists without Google Maps. Find every electrician, architect or physiotherapist in a city or region, with a phone and a company email.
• B2B sales in DACH. German, Austrian and Swiss websites must publish an Impressum, so you also get the legal name, the commercial register entry and the VAT ID, ready for your CRM or for invoicing.
• Market sizing. Count how many dentists, car dealers or hotels there are in each city, with coordinates for a map.
• Supplier and partner research (KYB). Check that a business is a GmbH, AG, B.V. or SRL and get its official register number before you sign.
• Agencies and SaaS sales teams. Build target lists of businesses that have a website (and see which ones do not).

Good to know

• Coverage. The Actor finds what is mapped in OpenStreetMap. In German-speaking countries and the Benelux that is most shops, offices, practices and craftsmen in cities, less in small villages. Try a nearby city or the whole region if you get few results.
• Place names. Use the local name (München, Wien, Genève, Den Haag); English names work too in most cases. If a name exists several times (e.g. Neustadt), all matching places are searched. Region codes (DE-BY) are the most precise. In Luxembourg, Luxembourg means the capital city; leave the field empty for the whole country.
• Chains. Branches of a chain often share one website, so they get the legal data of the company that runs the website.
• VAT IDs are returned only when the official check digit is correct (checksumValid: true). Run a VIES lookup if you need to know that a VAT ID is currently active.
• Attribution. Data from OpenStreetMap is © OpenStreetMap contributors and available under the Open Database License (ODbL). If you publish the data, credit OpenStreetMap.
• Legal. The Actor reads open map data and public pages of business websites, respects robots.txt, and returns company mailboxes by default. You are responsible for how you use the data, for example under GDPR and anti-spam rules (UWG in Germany) when you contact businesses.

FAQ

How many businesses can I get? Up to 20,000 per run. For a whole country, split by region code (DE-BY, DE-NW …) for faster runs.

Which category should I pick for X? If it is not in the list, look up the tag on the OpenStreetMap wiki and put it in OpenStreetMap tags, e.g. shop=bicycle, craft=tiler, office=architect.

Do I need a proxy? Usually not. Small business websites rarely block. Turn on Apify Proxy if you see many blocked rows.
