Use Case · KYC & Compliance
Business partner checks on autopilot.
An end to manual KYC research: an agent verifies new business partners automatically against the German commercial register — with official, verifiable data instead of patched-together sources.
Free registration · No credit card required
At a glance
An agent verifies every new business partner against official register data — automatically and fully documented.
-
What is checked: Existence, master data, signing authority, ownership structure, ultimate beneficial owners, and insolvency signals — straight from the commercial register.
-
Workflow: Create the partner, the agent checks in the background, the result lands in the compliance record together with official evidence documents.
-
Integration: Into onboarding flows and compliance tools via API — or into AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini via the MCP server.
The tedious routine
Manual checks slow down every onboarding
The more business partners, the more research — and the bigger the risk of missing something.
Hunting through sources
Register portal, lists, websites: every check means querying several sources one by one and merging them by hand.
Documentation that won't hold up
Screenshots and copy-paste instead of official evidence — at the latest in an audit, that gets uncomfortable.
Checked once, never again
After onboarding, nobody looks again. Shareholder changes or insolvencies go unnoticed.
How it works
From new partner to documented check — in three steps
Set it up once and the agent verifies every new business partner by itself.
Create the partner
New business partners come straight from your onboarding — simply by company name or registration number.
The agent checks automatically
The agent reconciles master data, signing authority, shareholders, and insolvency signals with the commercial register.
Result documented
The check result and official evidence documents land audit-proof in the compliance record.

Active time per check
Active effort per month
Example calculation: avg. 15 minutes per manual business partner check (register excerpt, ownership structure, insolvency check, documentation). With handelsregister.ai, checks run fully automatically in the background after a one-time setup — active time is practically zero. Actual savings depend on scope and process.
