What's in the database
Each country file follows the same column structure, making this business database practical for cross-border research. Company records come from official registers; contact details come from information businesses publish themselves. Published phone numbers and emails are not guaranteed for every record.
The table distinguishes confirmed fields from information not included in the stated specification. Check the sample before designing your import or deciding which fields your outreach process requires.
| Field | What is included |
|---|---|
| Company name | Official registered company name. |
| Registry number | Registration identifier for matching records. |
| Address | Registered street address and postcode. |
| City | Town or city within the registered address. |
| Region | Not included as a confirmed separate field; use address information for geographic selection. |
| Industry code | Activity code and description. |
| Employees | Not included in the stated file specification. |
| Revenue | Not included in the stated file specification. |
| Phone | Business phone number, where published. |
| Business email address, where published. | |
| Website | Not included in the stated file specification. |
| Board members | Not included in the stated file specification. |
| Legal form | Registered legal structure, such as a limited company or partnership. |
| Registration date | Date of registration for selecting newer or established businesses. |
Filters you can use in Excel
Download the file and apply filters in Excel rather than relying on an online search interface. Start with the country you need, then narrow the records using the available columns. Keep an untouched copy so you can revisit your selection later.
Region: use city, postcode and registered address to select a geographic area. A dedicated region column is not confirmed. Industry: filter activity codes and descriptions to identify relevant sectors. Legal form: separate companies by their registered structure.
Founding date: use registration date as the available reference; it does not necessarily establish when trading began. Size: employee and revenue fields are not included in the stated specification, so direct size filtering is not supported. Add independently verified information if size is essential to your shortlist.
Prices and how to buy
Full country files start from €199. Countries are sold separately, so choose the markets you need rather than assuming the price covers the whole European collection. Payment is one-time, with no subscription or credit allowance.
If you are comparing a B2B database for sale, inspect the sample alongside the price. Confirm that the available fields suit your workflow and that the country coverage matches your territory plan. Delivery is within 24 hours, with an invoice and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
| Product | Price | Payment |

Who uses it: sales, marketing and recruitment
A list of European companies gives teams a starting point for account research, not a promise of qualified prospects or permission to contact everyone. These examples illustrate possible workflows; they are not customer results.
Sales: identify potential distributors
For example, a sales team could select wholesalers by activity code in Poland, check their locations and compare registry numbers with existing CRM accounts. The shortlist would then guide further research before any approach.
Marketing: plan a market segment
For example, a marketing team could compare relevant company records in Germany and Ireland, define an industry segment and assess available business contact details. Campaign planning would still need a lawful contact strategy for each market.
Recruitment: research potential employers
For example, a recruitment agency could identify businesses in a target sector and city to research potential hiring clients. The file is an organisation-level research resource, not a candidate list or a source of confirmed vacancies.
Is it legal to use the data?
Buying business records does not automatically authorise every use. GDPR applies when a record identifies an individual, including some named work email addresses and sole-trader details. A generic corporate inbox may fall outside personal-data rules, but its context matters.
B2B legitimate interest may provide a lawful basis for some processing, subject to a documented purpose, necessity and balancing assessment. It is not blanket permission for cold email. Provide required privacy information, explain the source of personal data and respect objections.
Electronic marketing rules also differ by country and recipient type, and prior consent may be required. Check the relevant national requirements before contacting prospects, maintain suppression records and seek legal advice where needed. Public availability alone does not remove these responsibilities.
Country coverage and data sources
The European companies list spans 36 countries, with each market supplied separately. The selected figures below help you compare available markets; company totals and unique email totals measure different things and should not be treated as one contact per company.
Records are drawn from official business registers and company-published contact information. Files are refreshed on a schedule and checked against the previous release. Review the country sample and update information before deciding whether a release fits your project.
| Country | Companies | Unique emails |
|---|---|---|
| Germany | 926,910 | 1,313,125 |
| Ireland | 195,502 | 218,828 |
| Poland | 3,638,724 | 2,673,602 |
| United Kingdom | 1,374,260 | 1,683,996 |
Frequently asked questions
What should I check when comparing a “B2B database Europe” search result?
Check geographic coverage, available fields, file format and the basis for contact information. Kontabase covers 36 countries through separate country files in a shared structure. Review a free sample to see whether the columns suit your research, CRM matching and Excel filtering needs before purchasing.
Can I create an EU companies list from these files?
Yes, choose the files for the EU member countries relevant to your project and combine them as needed. The overall collection covers 36 European countries, not only the European Union. Keep your intended geographic scope clear when selecting markets and describing the resulting list internally.
Does Kontabase offer a company database worldwide?
This collection covers 36 European countries; it is not a worldwide product. Each country is purchased separately and uses a consistent file structure. If your project extends beyond Europe, do not assume that those markets are included or that a European purchase provides global coverage.
How does a B2B database download work?
Choose a country and inspect its free 50-row sample before buying the full file. Delivery is within 24 hours, and the available formats are XLSX and CSV. You can then filter the records in Excel and prepare relevant selections for your own research or import workflow.
Can I buy company database files without a subscription?
Yes. Full country files are available from €199 through a one-time purchase, with no subscription or credits. Each country is sold separately, so the price does not cover all 36 markets together. Use the free sample to assess the structure before committing to your selected country.
Does every company database record include an email address?
No. Email addresses and phone numbers are included where businesses publish them, so contact availability varies. The collection contains 28,797,511 companies and 19,787,730 unique email addresses across 36 countries. Those totals do not imply that every company has an email or that every address identifies a decision-maker.
