Business Extract

The business extract of a company contains the following:

Business extracts can be used to answer many questions. You can easily find out if the person you are doing business with is actually authorized to sign a contract. Or you can find out what has happened to a company you did business with years ago.

All business extracts are available in a certified and a non-certified version.

Certified business extract(in Dutch: "Uittreksel - per e-mail")
Certified business extracts are provided with an official signature of an authorized representative of the Dutch Chambers of Commerce. This means that the information in the business extract can definitely be counted on. Certified business extracts can be used for official purposes. When you order a certified business extract, you receive this by e-mail (as attachment in PDF-format).

Non-certified business extract(in Dutch: "Uittreksel - inzien")
A non-certified business extract appears directly on your screen when you order it. But: it is not provided with an official signature, which means that this extract cannot be used for official purposes.

Costs:
Viewing a non-certified business extract costs € 2,50. If you view the history and/or the deposits ("deponeringen") of the same company on the same day it's free of charge. A certified business extract costs € 7,50.
