Who may inspect the Business Register?
The Business Register is a public register. Any person may therefore inspect it and request extracts or other documents. This openness ensures transparency in commercial transactions and makes it possible to obtain legal and economic information about companies.
Retrieve an Extract from the Business Register
Enter the company name, Business Register Number (FN) or VAT Identification Number (UID) to receive the current extract instantly.
Inspection is possible online via official portals such as fbgb or directly at the competent Business Register Courts. This allows current or historical data such as company name, legal form, registered office, authorised representatives and capital information to be accessed easily.
Official information on Business Register Enquiries is available on the website of the Federal Ministry of Justice (BMJ).
