Read the register entry, not the marketing page
The register entry shows Organisation number, Company name, Legal form. That is what a bank, auditor or counterparty will check.

Keep a dated copy
Register entries change. Save the record with the date you retrieved it, or set up monitoring so you are told when the entry changes.
