The legal notice (Impressum) a company publishes on its own website, as German and Austrian law asks: its legal name and form, register court and number (with how companies_search finds it), the people who represent it, its VAT number, address, email and phone, each with the line of the notice it came from. Give its website, like the one a longlist shows; the notice is found from the home page or at the usual addresses. A site without one, or closed to bots by its robots.txt, costs nothing. Price: $0.01 a call. A call that fails costs nothing. ## Use it when When a longlist found a business on the map and you need the company behind it: its register number, to look it up, and who runs it. - For a company's record in its register, use [companies_get](https://conecto.chat/tools/companies/companies_get.md). ## Say this to your agent > Who is behind Kuechentechnik Nord?
