Searching Companies Worldwide : Tips

Basics

  • Start by selecting the right country, then search by company name or identifier.
  • Use fewer filters first, then add city or other details to narrow results.
  • If you cannot find a company, use the Contact page and we can help.

Search With a Company Name

  • Try alternate spellings and abbreviations (Ltd, LLC, Inc, Co.).
  • If results are too broad, add the city.

Search With a DUNS Number

  • Enter digits only, or a masked format like 51-------.
  • DUNS is a global identifier used across many jurisdictions.

Search With Local IDs

Some registries use local identifiers (trade register numbers, chambers of commerce IDs, VAT/tax IDs). If you have a local registration number, include it in the message when you contact support.

What You Can Do With Results

  • Verify a company's existence and basic registration data.
  • Check directors/shareholders when available.
  • Prepare screening for onboarding or compliance workflows.
