Company register (Unternehmensregister)

By the e-handelsregisterauszug.de editorial team · Published · Reviewed

The Unternehmensregister provides electronic access to company information specified by law. This includes register information and accounting documents.

Meaning and context

It is not simply another name for the Handelsregister. The commercial register contains court-maintained entries, while the company register brings together access to several information and publication categories.

What the documents show

Available accounting material depends on the entity, reporting period and statutory disclosure requirements. A company may have several published accounts or deposited balance sheets for different years.

Research tip

Choose the search area according to the question: representation requires register details, while financial development requires the appropriate accounts. For similar names, compare the complete name, seat and register identity.
