Is anyone aware of a way to check legit Luxembourg?

[Steven Cohen]

So, I’m dealing with a company registered in Luxembourg, and I need to verify if they’re actually legit. Like, is there some official database or method to check their status? If not, what kind of precautions should I be taking before I go further with them?

I found some info online, but honestly, I want to double-check before I make any moves. Anyone got experience with this?

Oh my god, please tell me you at least checked the Luxembourg Business Register (LBR) before coming here. That’s literally step one. You can search for any registered company there, see if they’re active, dissolved, or shady as hell. Here’s the site: www.lbr.lu

But hey, if you’re dealing with someone who’s being cagey about their company info, that’s already a red flag. If they’re real, they should have no problem providing their registration number so you can verify it yourself.

Alright, chill man. I didn’t know about LBR, that’s why I’m asking. If they’re listed there, does that mean they’re automatically legit?

Absolutely f*cking not. Just because a company is registered doesn’t mean it’s clean. Scammers love setting up official-looking companies, running their little games, and then ditching them before they get caught.

Check how long they’ve been registered, if they’ve filed annual reports, and if their directors are real people. If the company was set up, like, three months ago, and they’re promising you the world, run the other way.

Also, Google the directors. If they’re using some random nominee service, that’s not a great sign either.

ACTUALLY, according to Luxembourg law, company registration alone does not guarantee legitimacy! You also need to check if they are compliant with tax filings, active in the market, and have a physical presence. The LBR only confirms their existence, not their credibility.

You can also request an RCS extract (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés) to see a more detailed report on them. If they refuse to provide it, I would not proceed. Always verify via official channels.

And, please, never send money or sign contracts before you’ve done your due diligence. You don’t want to end up in a fraud investigation.

Damn, okay, so even if they’re listed, they could still be shady as hell? How do I check their financials?

Now you’re asking the right questions. You can get financial statements from the Luxembourg Business Register too, but not all companies are required to file full reports. If they’re a small company, they might not have public financials, and that’s where you need to start asking questions.


If they’re a legit company, they should have no issue showing you their latest filings, tax compliance documents, or even a bank reference letter. If they stall, dodge, or say they can’t, that’s when you start thinking fraud alert.


Also, check if they’re listed in the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce—some industries require additional licensing, and that’s another way to verify if they’re real.

Alright, so I gotta check:

1. LBR for basic registration


2. RCS extract for more details


3. Financial statements (if available)


4. Licensing if they’re in a regulated industry

That about cover it?

Yeah, and make sure to Google the sh*t out of them. Check for complaints, lawsuits, or bad reviews from past clients. Luxembourg has some strict business laws, but scammers still find ways to operate under the radar.

Yep. And if they’re asking for upfront payments, weird contracts, or acting too desperate, that’s another big-ass red flag. A real company won’t be rushing you into a deal.

I would also check international fraud databases like:

World Compliance Database


EU Sanctions List


OpenCorporates

If their directors or company show up on any of these, walk away.

Got it. If they don’t check out, I’m bailing immediately. Appreciate the help, y’all!
