Commercial Register Announcement

A Commercial Register Announcement is the legally required public publication of new entries, changes, or deletions in the commercial register. This electronic announcement is now centrally made via the Register Portal of the federal states and the Company Register, replacing previous publications in the official gazette or newspapers. Commercial Register Announcements fulfill the publicity obligation according to §§ 8–10 HGB and transparently inform creditors, business partners, and investors about important legal changes such as changes in management, company renaming, capital increases, or the dissolution of a company. By being immediately available online, they enhance legal certainty in business transactions and facilitate due diligence processes. Anyone establishing a corporation or making changes to existing company data is required not only to register these facts with the commercial register but also to announce them promptly.

Commercial Register Announcement provides timely notifications of new entries, changes, or deletions in the commercial register. Through the handelsregister.ai API, users can retrieve the full text of these publications, including the date, district court, and register number, and monitor them automatically to fulfill compliance obligations, conduct risk analyses, or update their CRM with current company events.
