Different systems, different purposes

The commercial register records registered corporate facts. Insolvency is a legal proceeding that is typically recorded and published through separate channels. A company can exist in the register while also being subject to insolvency proceedings, so a register extract alone is not an insolvency status confirmation.

Practical workflow

For a risk‑sensitive review, use the commercial register extract to confirm identity (name, seat, register court/number), then check the relevant insolvency notice channels using the same identity anchors. Record dates and case references as published.

Timing and interpretation

Insolvency data is time‑sensitive. Publications can change as proceedings progress. Avoid relying on outdated screenshots and capture the publication date and the authority/court reference shown in the notice.

What to capture from an insolvency notice (if applicable)

• Court/authority reference and case number
• Key dates (opening of proceedings, interim measures, etc. as published)
• Company identity anchor (name, seat, register reference)
• Publication date of the notice
