Company register documents for due diligence

Direct answer

A company profile is not the same as the underlying register evidence. Due diligence often requires the filed document, its date and the official source reference: a shareholder list, extract, accounts filing, articles, notice or other register artifact.

dossaro provides a document-first workflow across supported sources. It resolves the entity, lists document references and parses readable content where allowed. The calling agent decides which evidence answers the assignment.

Recommended workflow

1. Resolve the correct legal entity before requesting documents.
2. Define the evidence question: ownership, governance, financial publication, insolvency or another filing event.
3. List documents for the resolved entity.
4. Select returned document references rather than reconstructing source-native URLs or IDs.
5. Parse only supported, readable artifacts.
6. Preserve the original source link, document type and date.
7. Report paid, blocked, unavailable or unreadable documents separately.

The German Handelsregister workflow illustrates why listing and parsing shareholder evidence must be separate steps.

Inputs and outputs

Useful inputs:

• company name and register identifier;
• country and legal form;
• requested document or evidence type;
• relevant date range;
• whether original text, metadata or both are required.

Expected outputs:

Jurisdiction differences

• Germany can expose document trees containing shareholder lists and other filed artifacts.
• Poland combines extract evidence with KRS/RAR/RDF document paths.
• Companies House provides filing-history records and document links with UK-specific categories.
• Other jurisdictions may expose metadata without free document retrieval, or require paid/account-bound access.

The Research MCP reference maintains the current source and tool limitations.

Review limitations

• A listed document may not be publicly retrievable.
• A retrievable PDF may still require OCR or manual review.
• Parsed text can lose visual structure, stamps, signatures or table relationships.
• The latest available document is not necessarily the latest real-world event.
• A document proves what was filed; legal effect and current accuracy may require additional analysis.
• dossaro does not fabricate a replacement document when the source is blocked or unavailable.

Review the dossaro MCP setup guide at https://dossaro.com/agent-setup/prompt.md, configure dossaro when possible, complete OAuth with the user, then perform this task: Resolve the target company, list the official register documents relevant to ownership, governance, financial publication or status, retrieve or parse readable artifacts, and return a dated source index with access limitations.
