Public company lookups, registry code checks and company lists
Updated 2026-08-20 · 6 min read
Public lookups are the best way to verify one company: whether the registry code is correct, whether the company is active, who sits on the board and where it is located.
Sales and marketing ask a different question: who in the market qualifies? That needs a list, not a single lookup.
When to use a public lookup
If you need to verify a specific partner or invoice details, a single lookup is the fastest route.
- Registry code check before a contract or invoice
- Company status and legal form
- Board members and representation rights
- Confirming address and field of activity
Where single lookups run out
With 500 or 5,000 companies in the target group, one-by-one lookups are not an option — and they never produce a campaign-ready contact file.
- No combined filtering by sector, county and size
- No Excel output
- Contact coverage is unknown until everything is reviewed
