Business Registries
Here you will find links to 827 online databases across 59 jurisdictions where you can get information on the shareholders, directors and the financial reports of companies worldwide. They are organized by country. Many are free of charge and for some you must register. Databases marked with a "$" require a fee. Not all are available in English, see the notes column for further details.
Company Registration Around the World
This is a list of links to the official government agency sites in countries around the world—as well as in the U.S.—where companies do their official filings. Note that if and when you do link to a page located in another country, if there is not a link to an English-language page, you will probably want to enter the URL into Google Translate (https://translate.google.com/) to help you get the gist of the page.
Company Information: Official Company Registers
Reporting and filing requirements for companies differ from country to country and sometimes from state to state, or region to region. They also vary depending on the size and legal form of the company (sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability etc). Many of the official company registries are on the Web and some offer access to their database of companies. This may be completely free, or they may provide only basic information such as name and address free of charge with detailed data available on subscription or by credit card payment.
