European Business Register Network

The EBR was developed in 1996 as a part of the fully integrated approach of the European Commission in the legislation designed to achieve regulations to promote transparent financial markets and to facilitate free movement of companies. The EBR has served as a starting point of the Business Register Interoperability Throughout Europe (BRITE) project which developed an interoperability solution (BRIS) for Business Registers to interact across the European Union. BRIS made it possible to obtain comparable, official company information from the countries connected to the network. == Members ==

At its peak the EBR Network was composed of 26 partners that delivered company information from 25 European countries. This subsequently dropped to 16 by 2025 as a number countries dropped out of the network. Amongst others the European Business registers contains information about: • Legal name of a company • Registered office • People representing the company (Managing Director, Board of Directors, holders of Proxy) • Subscribed capital if any == See also ==
