Company.info Deutschland

What Company.info Deutschland does

Company.info Deutschland (legal entity: Company.info BI GmbH) is a Düsseldorf-based business-data and compliance platform that aggregates official German public register data — Handelsregister, Transparenzregister, Unternehmensregister, and Bundesanzeiger — into structured, source-attributed company profiles updated daily. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dutch business-information group FD Mediagroep, leveraging 25+ years of parent-company experience in the Dutch market to serve regulated German industries. Its product architecture is a platform-plus-modules design built on three core delivery methods: a browser-based Online Portal for self-serve access, a suite of nine REST APIs (German Organizations, Official Documents, Shareholders, Transparenzregister, Compliance Screening, Compliance Monitoring, Country Risk, Activity Risk) for system integration, and Data on Demand for bulk file delivery (CSV/Excel/JSON at €0.50 per dataset).

The platform is purpose-built for GwG (Money Laundering Act), AML, KYC, and KYB compliance workflows in law firms, banks, fintechs, insurance companies, and sales/marketing teams. Its differentiated output is an audit-ready KYC report bundling source citation, retrieval timestamp, and screening results (PEP and sanctions lists) — documentation specifically engineered to satisfy bar-association audits and bank regulatory inspections. Enterprise-grade credibility is supported by ISO/IEC 27001 certification, B Corp certification, GDPR/DSGVO compliance, and DICO (Initiative for Compliance) membership, alongside 99.8% uptime over 10+ years on redundant European hosting.

Revenue is generated through three streams: annual subscription tiers for the Online Portal (Lite €99/month, Pro €179/month, plus custom-priced Premium), usage-based API pricing with volume tiers and quote-based enterprise contracts, and pay-as-you-go Data-on-Demand purchases. Go-to-market combines a product-led free-trial motion (3-day trial, no credit card) with sales-assisted 30-minute demos targeting enterprise and mid-market buyers, plus a partner-led implementation channel covering Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, and DATEV integrations. Named customers include Deutsche Bank, EY, Noerr, Alpen Privatbank, HLB, Finom, Nexia, Spirit Legal, and Kerberos, with over 1,000 companies in the cumulative user base. Leadership is Managing Director Jacob van Wagensveld; the German entity employs 16 staff with shared parent-company infrastructure.

Core offering

Company.info aggregates official German business registry data (Handelsregister, Transparenzregister, Unternehmensregister, Bundesanzeiger) and delivers it through an online portal, REST APIs, and bulk Data-on-Demand file exports. The platform packages register documents, shareholder and UBO structures, PEP and sanctions screening, and audit-ready KYC reports for compliance, onboarding, and lead-generation workflows.

Product overview

Company.info is a business intelligence and compliance data platform providing verified German company information sourced directly from official registries (Handelsregister, Transparenzregister). The offering is a platform-plus-modules architecture built around three core products: the Online-Portal (browser-based access), REST APIs (for programmatic/system integration), and Data on Demand (bulk file delivery). These core products are differentiated by delivery method and use case. Industry-specific solutions layer on top for law firms, banks/fintechs, and AI agents. The KYC-Report sub-feature bundles outputs from all three delivery modes into a single audit-ready document. The API suite is the most technically differentiated component, offering nine distinct API endpoints for organizations, documents, shareholders, transparency register, compliance screening, monitoring, country risk, and activity risk.
