European business register
The European Business Register (EBR) is a network of trade registers kept by the registration authorities in most of the European countries. The EBR is part of the fully integrated approach of the European Commission in the legislation designed to achieve regulations to promote transparent financial markets and to facilitate free movement of companies. The EBR has served as a starting point of the Business Register Interoperability Throughout Europe (BRITE) project which aims to develop an interoperability model for Business Registers to interact across the European Union. The EBR makes it possible to obtain comparable, official company information from the countries connected to the network. The EBR is at the moment composed of 24 partners and delivers company information from 23 European countries.
Amongst others the European Business registers contains remarks about:
- legal name of a company
- Registered office
- people representing the company (Managing Director, Board of Directors, holders of Proxy)
- subscribed capital if any.
