FAQ
Common questions
Why does a German company number have a court in it?
The register is kept per registry court, so an entry is named by its court and its number together. The pair is unique inside the register.
What is the difference between HRB and HRA?
The section letter reflects the legal form. HRB covers corporations such as GmbH and AG, and HRA covers partnerships and registered sole traders. Both are searchable the same way.
Can I search a GmbH by name alone?
Yes. A GmbH name is matched fuzzily and the nearest candidates return in ranked order, each carrying its court, number and status, so a name becomes the exact entry.
