A questionnaire of companies from the EU countries contains the number and place of registration.

At the request of a user several extracts are possible. The cost of a full extract ranges from 5 to 50 EUR (depends on the country of search and the register).

Companies registered in the United Kingdom are presented in the YouControl system with more extended data: information about SIC (KVED – classifier of types of economic activity), its active or inactive status, condition confirmation, account and whether it is verified, as well as its history – current and former beneficiaries and directors. This profile is available to all users in full. Their source for YouControl is the official register of the United Kingdom Companies House.
