Company Profiles


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 to help you get the gist of the page.

Company-Registers.info
This site provides links and describes offices around the world where companies must register in order to do business in that country. Includes 42 countries, mostly in Europe.

Access to international company profiles is identical to the process we use to find company profiles in the United States. The following databases contain not only basic profiles, but also cover their histories, financial data, and even periodical articles about them.
