Trade register

The Dutch Trade Register
In the Netherlands registration in the trade register is compulsory for every company and almost every legal entity. This means that the register is able to provide reliable answers to such questions as:

• Does the company with which I wish to do business actually exist?
• Is the person I am dealing with actually an authorized signatory?
• What has happened to the company I used to do business with a few years ago?     

The trade register provides a lot of this kind of information. This section of the website tells you exactly what information is contained in the trade register in the Netherlands.

In the Dutch section of the website, you can also search for companies in the trade register and check their business extract or annual account.
