Company Info Registers and Alternatives for Finding Company Data
Updated 2026-08-14 · 7 min read
Services like Inforegister and similar Estonian company-info portals are convenient for quickly checking a single company: credit info, relationships, reports, and background all on one page.
If your goal is instead a sales or marketing list — say, every company in a certain sector with public contacts in one file — you need a different tool. In this guide we compare both approaches honestly.
What company-info portals are best for
Researching a single company is their strength: is the partner solvent, who are the owners, what related companies exist, and how has revenue moved.
- Checking creditworthiness and payment defaults before signing a contract
- Owner and board relationships
- History of annual reports
- Background check on a single company before a meeting
Where the limit is when you need a whole audience
In sales you don't need one company, you need every matching company at once. Three obstacles usually appear here: data can't be exported as a filtered file, contact data isn't campaign-ready, and pricing runs on a subscription or per-lookup basis.
- Export limits or no Excel/CSV output
- Contact coverage isn't visible before buying
- A subscription fee even if you only need the data once

Kontabase is built for one job: get your target audience list right away. Choose filters, see a live record count and contact coverage, and pay only for what you download — no subscription.

- XLSX and CSV download immediately after payment

Which one to choose
If you need a background check and credit info on one company, use a company-info portal. If you need a sales or email-marketing list, a filtered dataset is the faster path.
Many customers use both: the list comes from Kontabase, and the credit check before a specific deal comes from a portal.
