Frequently Asked Questions

Can I search by name, city or register number? Search by name or keyword and optionally filter by federal state, city and register type. Use exact match mode to pin down a single company by its precise name.

Does it include the company's directors? Yes. With enrichment on, each company carries its officers — managing directors (Geschäftsführer), board members, liquidators and authorised signatories — with their role and city.

Does it include financial statements? It returns whether a company has annual financial statements on file and which document types are published for it. The full annual-account figures are published as filed documents in the German company register and Bundesanzeiger.

Are deleted companies included? Only if you switch on Include deleted companies; by default the scraper returns companies currently on the register.

How fresh is the data? Every record is read live at run time from the official register and carries an observedAt timestamp.
