Tips for Effective Research

For best results, use the company’s registered name including legal form (e.g., “Example GmbH” rather than just “Example”).
If multiple companies share a similar name, include the city to narrow results: “Example GmbH, Munich.”
Be specific about what information you need: “managing directors,” “share capital,” “registered address,” etc.
