Search criteria

Searching a specific company
Use an identifying search factor: company’s name, Business ID or Trade Register number.

Searching a group of companies
There are dozens of alternatives for searching and defining a group of companies. You can define the search criteria yourself, or you can use pre-prepared search criteria menus via the buttons in the lower part of the screen. All search criteria can also be used simultaneously. The search criteria screen always indicates the number of companies in the database that meet the supplied or selected search criteria.

• The easiest way to search the companies in your own locality is to select the province and/or post offices behind the buttons PROVINCE and POSTAL CODE / POST OFFICE. You can specify the search by supplying the street address or addresses to the street address field.
• The easiest way to find the companies in your own line of business is by selecting the line of lines of business behind the LINE OF BUSINESS button.
• You can find young companies by utilizing the date on which a company was entered into the Trade Register. Fill into the search field the date representing the registration date limit for companies that you wish to include in the search.
• You can search companies with good profitability, solvency and liquidity by selecting the best classes behind the PROFITABILITY, SOLVENCY and LIQUIDITY buttons. The easier way to reach the same result is to select the best class behind the FINANCIAL CATEGORY button.
