The European Business Register Network (EBR Network) was a European network of trade registers kept by the registration authorities of several European countries. It was managed by the European Business Registry Association.
Many scams circulate offered inclusion in the European Business register against payment of a hidden fee, these did not refer to the official register though. Inclusion in the European Business Register was free of charge and automatically done by registering a company within one of the partnering countries.
The network was closed in March of 2026, as a result of changes to the European register landscape and competing technologies and API-driven infrastructure.
History 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 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 27 partners.
Amongst others the European Business registers contained 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
