You are investigating whether your new business partner is reliable. You have already checked their company’s Business Register extract. But you want to know more. You can also check the company's financial statements, history, and corporate relationships. This means you can do business more safely.
With a Business Register extract you can check who you are doing business with. You can do more extensive research by also looking at other documents about the company.
Financial statements
If a company can easily pay off all current debts, it is financially healthy. You can check whether a company has its finances in order with the figures in its financial statements. Note that financial statements give information about previous years. You cannot see how a company's finances are currently doing.
Group Structure Overview
A KVK Group Structure Overview gives you more information about interests in a company. It is an overview of the current corporate relationships between a group’s legal entities, collaborative partnerships, and foreign organisations registered in the Business Register. You also see who the director(s) and/or the liable party(s) of the organisation are. And you can see who the sole shareholder is, if that is the case.
KVK Corporate History
In the Corporate History you will find information about the company’s past. For instance, you can see who has been authorised to sign and thus make decisions and sign contracts. You can find former officials and what the company's activity description was in previous years. You can also see how often the organisation changed its details in the Business Register.
