Almost all countries have a register listing businesses and organisations. Usually these registers can be viewed online.

Sometimes a chamber of commerce keeps the register, as in the Netherlands, and sometimes a commercial court or a ministry agency does this. Financial data (such as financial statements) may also be kept and published by another institution. 

Matters such as registration and viewing information are often handled differently than in the Netherlands. The information may also only be available in the local language.
