Mapping Polish company structures: querying KRS direct via API
A Polish company's M&A diligence was nearly mispriced due to delays in traditional corporate data aggregators. The Krajowy Rejestr Sądowy (KRS) is Poland's official court registry, and its data is legally binding only upon registration. To ensure accuracy, especially for time-sensitive events like capital increases or share pledges, direct API access to the KRS is recommended over relying on cached databases. The KRS API provides detailed information on company structure, capital, representation, and historical records, though Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) data and financial filings are housed in separate registries.
