cégjegyzék

A cégjegyzék, often translated as the company register or commercial register, is a public record containing essential information about legally registered companies and other business entities within a specific jurisdiction. Its primary purpose is to ensure transparency and provide reliable information to the public, businesses, and authorities.

The content of a cégjegyzék typically includes the company's official name, legal form, registered office address, identification numbers (such as tax or registration numbers), details about its representatives, and its scope of business activities. It may also record significant events like company formation, mergers, acquisitions, liquidations, and changes in ownership or management.

Access to the cégjegyzék is usually available to the general public, though there might be nominal fees for obtaining official extracts or detailed reports. This accessibility allows potential business partners, creditors, and consumers to verify the legitimacy and key details of a company before engaging in transactions. Regulatory bodies also use the cégjegyzék for oversight and enforcement purposes.

The system is maintained by a designated government authority, such as a court or a dedicated registry office, which is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the information recorded. The cégjegyzék plays a crucial role in the legal and economic framework of a country, fostering trust and facilitating fair business practices.
