    How do I check whether a company is still active in Luxembourg?

    Identify the exact company in RCS Luxembourg, then record its status, source and retrieval date. Active registration does not prove current trading or financial health. Liquidation is not the same as dissolution; interpret each status using the official register's terminology.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Find the company

      Search by name or registration number to open the correct record.

    2. 2

      Read the status field

      Preserve the exact status wording and its effective date where supplied. Consult the official explanation; a non-active label is not by itself a fraud verdict or a complete legal opinion.

    3. 3

      Check the available filing dates

      Distinguish the document date, status effective date and retrieval date. Filing schedules vary by entity and jurisdiction, so a gap is a question to investigate rather than proof of non-compliance.

    4. 4

      Confirm at the source

    Luxembourg: choosing and checking the right record

    Choose the correct source
    Use Luxembourg Business Registers for the RCS entity and available filed documents. Keep an RCS check separate from any beneficial-ownership inquiry, which can have different access conditions.
    Confirm the entity
    Match the full RCS identifier, including its section letter, with the legal name and legal form. Similar names or group membership are not sufficient to select the contracting entity.

    Check current access and document options on the official RCS (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés) site. For search limitations and missing-result guidance, see the Luxembourg registry guide.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I know if a Luxembourg company is still trading?

    The register's status field is the authoritative answer. An active/registered status on RCS Luxembourg means the entity is currently on the register. It does not by itself prove the business is operating, so also check the most recent filing date.

    What does "dissolved" or "struck off" mean?

    These labels generally indicate a registration has ended or been removed. Check the source's explanation and any subsequent reinstatement or successor filings. Contract validity and legal consequences require separate advice; they cannot be decided from this field alone.

    Is checking company status in Luxembourg free?

    LemReveal's basic lookup is free. Check RCS Luxembourg's current access terms for status information or official documents; fees and account requirements vary.

    Why is Luxembourg a financial hub?

    Luxembourg offers political stability, a multilingual workforce, favorable holding company and fund regimes, extensive double taxation treaty network (80+ countries), and is the EU's largest domicile for investment funds (over €5 trillion AUM).
