A debtor report sets out, from the public registers, the registered position of a Dutch counterparty before you extend credit, close a deal or move to enforce: what it has filed, what security sits over its assets, and whether any insolvency or dissolution state has been published. It tells you what the record establishes, so a decision rests on filings rather than on assurances.
The questions it settles
- Whether the entity is in any published insolvency, suspension-of-payments or restructuring state.
- Whether it has been dissolved, or filed for fast-track dissolution.
- What security or charges are recorded over its assets or shares.
- Whether its annual accounts are filed, and whether filing is late.
- Who the directors of record are, and when they last changed.
- Whether Dutch real property is held in its name, and what charges sit on it.
- How the Dutch entity connects to a foreign parent that may stand behind it.
The tiers
A report comes in tiers. A Tier 1 report gives you the raw register extracts with a factual cover note. Tier 2 adds a structured analysis of the debtor's filed position against the primary source. Tier 3 adds a written opinion on what the record does and does not establish about recovery prospects. Every tier is dated and sourced, and the fixed price is confirmed on request before you order. The free availability check tells you what exists, and at what cost, before you commit.
Where the material comes from
| Source | What it holds | Access |
|---|---|---|
| Handelsregister (Dutch trade register, KVK) | Entity, directors, filings, annual accounts, dissolution | Open record on the standing any applicant has |
| Official insolvency publications | Published insolvency, suspension of payments and restructuring filings | Open record |
| Kadaster (Land registry) | Real property held by the debtor and charges on it | Open record on the standing any applicant has |
| Pledge and attachment records | Security over shares and assets, where recorded | Obtained on the standing any applicant has, where a register exists |
Everything in a debtor report is obtained from the registers and open sources named above, on the standing any applicant has. We hold no privileged or non-public access, and the report is not screening of a person.
What is closed, and cannot be obtained
- A debtor's actual cash position and unfiled management accounts are not on any register and cannot be obtained this way.
- Security that is valid without registration may not appear on any public record; the report says where that gap is.
- Where a register notifies the subject of a request, you are told this before the request is made.
- Where a jurisdiction's access is still being confirmed against the primary source, that line is quoted on request.
The free availability check
Send the registered name, number and country of the debtor, and within two working hours you get back what exists, at what cost, in what time, and what does not exist. There is no charge and no commitment to order.
How the report is delivered
The report is delivered as a dated, sourced document with the register extracts attached, each record carrying its source and the date obtained. Registry charges passed through are shown as passed through.
What this does not cover
- It is not a legal opinion on your claim; it establishes the registered facts, not your prospects.
- It is not background screening, surveillance or investigation of an individual.
- It does not reach unfiled internal documents or a live cash position.
- A closed register is reported as closed, not estimated.
