Detailed description

If you are looking for information about specific corporations (such as GmbH, AG, KGaA), commercial partnerships (such as OHG, KG) or sole traders (e. K.), you can inspect the commercial register. You will also find small traders in the commercial register who have made the entry voluntarily.

The commercial register provides information about facts and legal relationships that are important for legal transactions in connection with companies registered there. The commercial register contains, for example, the names of the persons who are authorized to represent a company in business transactions.
