The authors in this paper analyze new system and possibilities that will rise for the companies and citizens regarding the digitalization of the market and business register. From June 2017, business registers in all EU countries are interconnected. This means that anybody can search for information on companies registered in any EU country. We can also search for companies in Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway. Very important is that the registers can share information on foreign branches and cross-border mergers of companies. This system – Business Registers Interconnection System (BRIS) – is a joint effort by EU governments and the European Commission. This paper introduces the cooperation of business registers at European level.
