Ettevõtlusregistrit

The Ettevõtlusregister, or Estonian Business Register, is the official central database in Estonia that contains information about all registered legal entities and sole proprietors conducting business. It is maintained by the Estonian Centre of Registers and Information Systems (e-Riigi Teataja). The register serves as a public and accessible source of information, ensuring transparency and facilitating business operations within the country.

Key information typically found in the Ettevõtlusregistrit includes the name of the business, its legal form, registration number, address, information about its management and representatives, and its status (e.g., active, liquidated, bankrupt). For companies, details about share capital and shareholders may also be available.

The register is crucial for various stakeholders. Businesses use it to verify the legitimacy of potential partners or clients. Government authorities rely on it for administrative and supervisory purposes. For the general public, it provides transparency and enables them to access essential data about entities operating in Estonia. Access to most of the information in the Ettevõtlusregistrit is free of charge, and it can be searched online through the e-Services portal of the Estonian Centre of Registers and Information Systems. The continuous updating and maintenance of the register are vital for the integrity of the Estonian business environment.
