Search companies

Perform advanced searches with complex filters to find companies matching specific criteria. Combine multiple filters on company attributes, financial metrics, ownership characteristics, and geographic location to identify your exact target audience. Cost: 10 credits per search

​
Powerful Filtering Options

Use filters to search by company status, legal form, location (city, postal code, or radius), industry codes, financial metrics (revenue, employees, balance sheet), incorporation date, ownership structure (family-owned, sole owner, owner-managed), and more. Combine multiple filters with AND logic to narrow your results precisely. You can filter by over 20 different fields including balance sheet totals, employee counts, youngest owner age, capital amounts, and specific ownership characteristics. See our filtering guide for detailed examples and all available filter fields.

​
Use Cases

Lead Generation: Find companies matching your ideal customer profile. For example, search for GmbH companies in a specific industry with 50-200 employees and revenue over €5M in your target region. Market Analysis: Identify all companies in a specific industry sector, analyze their distribution across regions, or find newly incorporated businesses in your market. Succession Planning: Search for owner-managed companies where the owner is approaching retirement age (youngest_owner_age > 60, has_representative_owner = true) - perfect for identifying acquisition opportunities or succession planning services. A full list of all German register courts is available here.
